It reminds me of something our former chief clown once did:

Edit: apparently he wasn’t behind it, but I can see something like this officially happening if MAGA UK (Farridge) gets in. Except you’ll get a load of racism and xenophobia added in too.

Assuming they’re just regular schrader valves, you don’t need a special tool. You can even just use a pencil or ballpoint if you just want to let out the air. It’s less risky for you than taking out the valve.

I read on another thread the reason is the companies leasing the rolling stock are charging ridiculously high amounts, so the operators are running on tight margins.

For peak, I get it. But the off peak trains I was on were nowhere near capacity. So lower fares may have encouraged more people to use the train than the coach, which takes longer but is significantly cheaper.

Let’s hope nationalisation brings ticket prices down. I was happy to see the South Western is the first to be taken back.

The government cannot guarantee train tickets will get cheaper under renationalisation, as South Western Railway (SWR) was brought into public ownership on Sunday.

Oh well.

He’d just use stabilisers, and call them some silly name like freedom supports or some other such nonsense. See? It has four wheels! Like a car, the best car, no one has a car like this. My doctor says I have a great sense of balance, the biggest balance, nice bank balance, nice bike balance.

It cost me about £60 for one return rail ticket last week 😭 that’s not including the tube fare to get to the station.
