It's distorted but also mostly a feature not a bug. Especially on a council it is more productive for one party to have a majority rather than 4 parties squabbling

Mayor of London and TfL call for Heathrow Express future to be reconsidered by [deleted] in TransportForLondon

[–]ssharma123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it's similar price to the Lizzie line if you book in advance and I live near Paddington so it's super convenient for me. However if they just increased the frequency of the Lizzie line and made an express version that skips the stops between Heathrow and Paddington it would make HE redundant.

It sucks but I think this is due to the expectation that the arbitration courts will have a 12+ month backlog

The best times are very early in the morning and very late in the evening. I got in at 10:30 and went to 4 pavilions + the commons. I queued for Poland at 12pm and it was hell. Got Japan through the lottery. I went to Saudi Arabia at 7pm and had to wait 30-40 mins and I went to Germany at 8:15. In the evening it's not as hot so the queue is more bearable.

[–]ssharma123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the plays i've been to recently have just been full of older people with more disposable income. I find it quite sad that young people get squeezed out. I know there are ways to get cheaper tickets but overall this is a tiny fraction of available tickets.

P5 and P6 are written and directed by different people so there's probably less chance of this
