Am looking to book train trip for when restrictions drop in May. In the case of Avanti/West Coast Mainline, theyre waiting on government before making tix available more than a couple of weeks ahead. Does anyone have any info on when we are likely to see normal service resuming in terms of service and being able to book ahead?

Interesting article looking at the (often overlooked) Black history of beer culture in the US
The dominant image of beer culture in this country has always been predominantly white, or more specifically European: German lederhosen and Oktoberfest, English and Irish pubs, kitschy “authentic” biergartens. While beer certainly has a place in many European cultures, these images monopolize the collective imagination.
But it’s disingenuous, factually incorrect, and socially irresponsible to peddle that lily-white narrative, because it discounts the Black brewers and entrepreneurs deep in the beer game.
Be interesting to see if theres a British equivalent...

Question about the Lochs and Glens Way mentioned above, would it make much difference if you travelled north > south versus south > north?

Anyone done the Lochs and Glens Way? Looking at heading that way when restrictions ease. Has the advantage of starting in Glasgow where I know people and finishing in Inverness which is not far from where my Dad grew up. Thoughts/suggestions/alternatives gratefully received

For a similar but different take on America, theres Nomadland. Would recommend even if its not a particularly joyous film

Anyone with experience with Community Fibre? Looking pretty good as an alternative to Virgin but good to hear of first hand experiences...
Been in touch with Avanti West Coast Mainline and they are releasing in about three weeks windows. There is talk of this reverting to their traditional advance booking programme sometime this year but no firm plans as yet with the suggestion being checking in with their social media team for guidance
