A few things…

As the title suggests, a few things you might be interested in. First, at stations.stupidstupidity.co.uk you will find a little web app that I’ve developed in order to allow people to track what stations on the UK railway network you have visited. Still in its trial stages, contact me if you want a go. Secondly, [...]

Sound, or some thoughts from my trip to London today

I’m afraid this is going to be fairly railway related like the list of ‘things I’ve never done before today’ list that I made a year ago, but there is also some audio-related stuff in this that wasn’t there last year as well. The aim of the day was to go to London, and interview [...]

What Richie G did in 2011

I know I did this a while ago when I realised that I hadn’t updated my site in a while. Unfortunatley, as I’ve not transferred all the posts over quite yet (these past couple of weeks would’ve been ideal but I left my PC laptop in Poole which is where they are) I can’t remember [...]

Radio stuff

For reasons that I’m not going to go into at this time (and I would rather those people who do know don’t spill the beans at the moment too!) I’m going to start to put a load of my radio stuff online here. I’m going to put them onto a page on their own as [...]

Revenue Protection?

This weekend I have been in London.В  As usual, I took the train between Tiverton Parkway station and Paddington. Today, I returned, and I found myself contemplating about several things actually, but one of which I am about to mention to you. Although I had a completely valid ticket for the train on which I [...]

Return of the 307 Bus

People who have known me for quite some time (those who knew me back at Secondary School) will know that for a short while I appeared to have a bit of a fixation with the 307 bus, the route which back then was between Barnstaple and South Molton, occasionally down here to North Molton, occasionally [...]
