  The Delivery Office is located in Hawthorne Road off the Causeway and it is a "private" road. Never knew that. There are clampers working in their usual way without any compassion and will clamp your car immediately you turn the ignition off. The usual unjustified unclamping fee applies. There are warning notices on the lampposts. Thank you to the Royal Mail staff for putting up a warning sign by their gate...

Apparently Surrey County Council is planning to scrap their objections to the rail link. Airtrack is a proposed rail service by BAA linking parts of Surrey, including Egham and Staines, Berkshire and London to Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport. They're going to use mostly existing train tracks. One route would be...

  Staines children have been teaching drivers a thing or two when it comes to keeping their speeds down and the roads safe. In a project arranged by a local housing association, the Staines Urban Safer Neighbourhood Team including PCSOs Deborah Tippetts and Dominic Long with NSO PC James Vernon took the children out on a speed check exercise.

  I am so frustrated by the ridiculous queues at Staines station. And it's not the people who are queuing that drive me mad, it's the station staff who do nothing to reduce the size of the lines! It doesn't seem to matter what time of day I go down there, there's always a queue crawling along. One time I went at about 4.30 in the afternoon and the ticket office was shut, the ticket machine inside was broken and there were about six people...
