@Adie996 @zarahsultana Not really. These were the arguments used to maintain the old class structure.

[Alexander Monro @papercaperer]

@SteveJWalley @zarahsultana Misses the point. If you believe in meritocracy there cannot be extra tax breaks for schools only open to the rich

@toryboypierce Yeah it’s really that simple honest

[Alexander Monro @papercaperer]

@GWRHelp Thanks for letting me know. If I get the 0733 as far as Bristol parkway, are there replacement buses/trains pls? There’s a reference to it on your website but hard to find details

[Alexander Monro @papercaperer]

@GWRHelp this morning I bought a ticket for the 0733 from Cheltenham Spa to Bristol TM tomorrow - confirmation email gives that time too. Any idea why it’s disappeared off all online timetables? Thanks

[Alexander Monro @papercaperer]

@bobbyfengmr @hillmg1 Nah - standard shorthand. This is too big an issue to quibble over minutiae like that
