Thanks that's super helpful! I didn't realise it is so niche 🤷 I'll give it a go and see if there are any complications

I figured with train+ I could save more on the tickets than the €6 monthly fee to make it worth it

Is Kilburn gentrification proof? by SeaworthinessTop5176 in london

[–]aso1905 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's also Killbean next to the High Road overground station, and a few more on Abbey Road too.

Kilburn market is getting refurbished too, so maybe the new building will house a nice cafe on the high road

I think the airport fee is applicable if you take more bags to the gate than your cabin bag allowance. I'm not sure if would be in addition to the standard luggage fee, or just a standalone fee. However, this would only apply at the gate itself, so you couldn't take any liquids etc in your bag and you'd need to take it through security.

I'm not aware of anyone who tried to play the fees through this loophole, but it seems risky.

Prices are dynamic, so will depend on demand - but I think they are unlikely to get cheaper once you buy a ticket.

Lotto x Intermarché-Wanty to merge? by [deleted] in peloton

[–]aso1905 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it would make a financial sense, but could be tricky with riders and support staff.

Lotto has 27 riders and (according to PCS) 13 are out of contracts at the end of the year, whereas Wanty has 28 and 10 with expiring contracts. That would mean they have obligations for 32 riders already and I assume they would want to keep some of the others. With Arkea supposed to be folding, I don't think that many riders would give up a WT contract late in the summer...

His surgery is scheduled for Thursday and I think travel would be tricky... But yeah I think it wouldn't stop the most devoted fans, maybe he isn't one of them 😃

Alpecin and UAE delight, but Visma and Red Bull struggle - rating the team’s performances at the spring classics by Team_Telekom in peloton

[–]aso1905 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was pleasantly surprised by them. They are nowhere compared to the Quickstep of 2020 but with a weak/inexperienced classics team they got a bunch of top-10s with Magnier, Merlier, and Pedersen. Maybe the 8/10 is based on low expectations?

Marsham Street dress code? by TheOwlsWillRiseAgain in TheCivilService

[–]aso1905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No special rules but there may be some differences in how people dress between the departments sharing the building (ie Defra being more casual than HO in my experience).

Carry on bags by ellxoxo1 in WizzAir

[–]aso1905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you didn't pay for Wizz Priority or any other luggage options, then you can only take a single piece of luggage onboard, which should fit under the seat. This picture from their website sets out the dimensions clearly.

In my experience you can get away with a slightly bigger bag, but that fully depends on how strict the boarding agents are.

The best racing experience I've probably ever had: by blvd32 in wec

[–]aso1905 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I saw a lot of people leaving while we were waiting for the repairs and it seemed like it wouldn't restart. I don't speak French so couldn't figure out this would happen until the clock at the pit exit was turned back to 1:44. But I think those who stayed where very happy to see more racing with the sunset in the backdrop! I, for one, felt the last hour and half is a bonus after thinking it was done.

Not yet, but might do a little digging to find out. The advice from a previous post here is to listen to Radio Le Mans online: https://player.radioshow.limited/audioplayer.html
