Just heard that the government has effectively renationalised the railways! Shocked:

I know, WTF???  eeek:
It makes sense though.  Essentially they've suspended the private companies for 6 months as otherwise with 70% drop in revenue and demands for season ticket refunds they'd just close down and then you couldn't get key workers to work

Having seen the stories about stressed NHS staff not being able to get anything from stores because of panic shopping and horders I'm going to suggest to the local supermarket that they have a collection point set up so that people can donate food items for them in the same way they can for the food banks. Don't know if it will work but it can't hurt to mention it.  rubschin:
