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

yes, me too! and it's not even just "Brabazon" but very much "Bristol Brabazon". i didn't realise it was almost finished, could be in service before the end of the year ...

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!
