For many of us the looming problem is in selecting what not to do, given the Whitehead and members inflexible restriction of the week to a mere 168 hours. That, however, is a pleasant who organised the recent difficulty to deal with. car boot sale at Whittington One thing we could benefit from, however, is a few more members. Most of our Castle and raised over £70 activities depend on there being enough people interested: to provide a lively towards our projector audience for a speaker, to get reasonable sized interest groups, to enable us to equipment fund. share the work involved in all this and, of course, to enable us all to meet kindred spirits. Maybe you have friends who would enjoy the activities we have; if so perhaps you could suggest they think about joining. There is of course a limit to the size we would wish our meetings to reach, or which our interest groups could cope Tea Rota with, but we could cope with more people than we have, so please spread the word.

" TTTHEN in 1899 I published the Bristol Royal Mail," I scarcely supposed that it would be practicable to gather further historical facts of local interest sufficient to admit of the com- pilation of a companion book to that work. Such, however, has been the case, and much additional information has been procured as regards the Mail Services of the District. Perhaps, after all, that is not surprising as Bristol is a very ancient city, and was once the second place of importance in the kingdom, with necessary constant mail communication with London, the seat of Government.

XonDon: M'^CORQUODALE & CO., LIMITED, PRINTERS, CARDINGTON STREET. 1904. ^7 A77373S" PREFACE. Owing to suggestions made from time to time by old comrades in railway life, I have been induced to put together some record of the part I have taken in connection with the inner working of Railways; going back to very early experiences, and through gradual developments extending over a long series of years, to the time when it became advisable for me to retire from the daily pressure of the work. A railway service commencing in 1847, carries one back a long way towards association with those who were the actual pioneers of our railway system ; from whom we learnt our first lessons, by whose successes we have profited, by whose failures we have acquired knowledge ; and on whose foundation we have endeavoured to raise a superstructure of so sub- stantial a character, that those who follow in our steps will have no reason to be ashamed of their predecessors.

Friends of the Far North Line – verdict on new train operators After sampling services provided by the three new franchisees in Scotland, Mike Lunan (FoFNL’s Convenor) has some comments to make. He’s used Virgin Trains East Coast several times and was greatly impressed by the small but noticeable improvements from Day 1. Serco’s Sleeper service also showed an immediate improvement, most noticeably in the catering. The verdict on Abellio ScotRail is rather different: ambitious plans, but a spectacular own goal from the outset in the form of replacement of the well-liked Club 55 ticket offer with their own Club 50 scheme, hedged around with inconvenient terms and conditions. Mike predicts that the large numbers who were used to making impulse-buy journeys with Club 55 won’t come back. Meanwhile, cancellations and partial journeys continue to plague Far North Line services: “…part of FoFNL’s work is to encourage people to use the line but we can only promote something that’s working properly…” One of Abellio’s plans is to develop the Far North Line as a scenic railway, so with this in mind the Friends have produced a sample Window Gazers’ Guide which they’ve included in their newsletter as a centre pull-out.

This article is to introduce the task ahead to prevent global catastrophe. As mentioned by Roderick in Issue 6, the last act of the Teresa May government was to amend the Climate Change Act, putting on the statute book the determination of the government to reach the target of Net-Zero Carbon Dioxide by 2050. The original target from 2008 had been to reduce our Carbon Dioxide output to 80% of the value in 1990 but it was realised that everyone thought they were a special case and were included in the remaining 20%. It is to the credit of the government that it took this issue seriously and pushed the amendment through. In February 2020, the General Synod of the Church of England debated a commitment to be carbon neutral by 2045. This was amended by the Synod and the date by which the church has committed itself – you and me – to be net zero emitters of carbon dioxide is now 2030.
