On 27th December, I had an appointment at Kingston Hospital, to see my consultant oncologist . Having gone through gruelling chemotherapy this was my chance to learn if my cancer was gone. My wife and I decided to catch the train from Hampton to Norbiton a 20 minute train ride, oh but the trains were not running, yet another strike.We decided to drive there but of course the new year sales were on in Kingston and roads were gridlocked. After a car journey that should have taken 30 minutes and…See More
Mike Newson replied to Janice Merritt's discussion A308"Read this on Sunday, so decided to drive my wife to work this morning via Walton bridge.

Mike Newson replied to Steph B's discussion Parked car"Check on DVLA website. Give cars number plate, make, model and colour. This will give access details on road fund tax,insurance and MOT. If anything is amiss you will then have an option to get car clamped and eventually towed away to scrap yard."

Ian Cook replied to Mike Newson's discussion Old Tudor Road Garage."Hi Gareth,
I think South Western Railway will use any excuse just in case they might miss out, the reality is people do drive into Hampton from Sunbury or even further away and save quite a chunk of money doing so, they would be daft not to. …"
Gareth Roberts replied to Mike Newson's discussion Old Tudor Road Garage."Hi Mike
We’ve raised the extension with SW Trains/ South Western Railway on a number of occassions and the reply is always the same. ‘Why would we volunteer to lose money?’
Which is effectively what they’d be doing.…"
Ian Cook replied to Mike Newson's discussion Old Tudor Road Garage."Really!

Work on this site is now going at full pace. Whatever this buiding is going to be,I might be wrong but would guess apartments, bringing into Hampton streets many more cars in an already congested parking area. Oh and of course we will also have to face the development of the old police station.I hope our council leaders are plying pressure on TFL, to extend zone 6 to at least Sunbury or even Shepperton which will ease the pressure on Hampton streets.See More

Waiting for a delayed train at Norbiton station this afternoon, there was a tannoy message to inform us of serious disruption to the South West train service tomorrow 8th November and Thursday 9th November. This is due to a strike called by the RMT rail union in support of guards. Personally this wont affect me at all, but it still angers me that people will have a horrendous two days trying to get to work or hospital and home again. Its about time that public transport employees were banned…See More

Bushey Park gates at Hampton Court.
Posted on April 24, 2015 at 16:10 0 Comments 0 Likes
I apologise for raising this subject again, but I get so angry every time passing the gates and still seeing those monstrous buildings each side. I accept that the former so called DeJa Vu bar & grill has been demolished, but nothing much seems to be happening on the site. On the other side of the gates the hideous boarded up Liongate Hotel still stands as an eyesore. I find it hard to believe that visitors from all over the world cannot fail to be disgusted when seeing this, our…
