Got into a great discussion last night, with someone who DIDN'T know what " :-) " was, when typed out online, or in a text message. It's an emoticon for a smiley face, that used to be used before emojis came alone. Who else here didn't know what this is ?! along with :-D ;-) :-( and :-0

Fun Game! Can you think of stations where there is a name of place in them, but are NOT in that place! e.g Liverpool Street - is not in Liverpool Cambridge Heath - in Bethnal Green Oxford Road - is not in Oxford Got any others? Go!

Ok, who want a Station Count update? Okehampton Interchange to open ... very soon! Balgray then has a confirmed September opening date, and then it looks like Bristol Brabazon station will be before the end of the year too - that'll be ELEVEN new stations that have opened this year!

New station Cambridge South opened on Sunday ( 28th June ) so here's the updated list of stations since 2020, we're up to 2597! Unofficially, I think the next four to open could be: Okehampton Interchange ( Devon ) Balgray ( East Renfrewshire ) Butetown( Cardiff ) Winslow ( Buckinghamshire )
