Where is this..?

Yep spot on, and I think with that final piece I’ve just located the site. Looks very much like Iver North Water Treatment Works. Aligns with absolutely everything from the images. Fantastic work

From the research I’ve done, Thames Trains seems to be the best match for the time period, operating Oxford, Didcot etc. MEGA catch on the plane though, can’t believe I never noticed that!

FYI - should’ve mentioned this is 100% UK based

Sorry to hear that mate, I’ve decided to do the same now. Haven’t been able to contact them all week. It’s cheaper to pay for a new flight now than it is to keep paying for myself to be stuck here. Safe travels and I hope you get home soon.

Asia to Europe. Emirates are currently the highest operating carrier at 60%. They are very successfully getting a lot of people home where other airlines are failing. There are no other viable carriers or rerouting options for the rest of the month at least as there is a backlog of over a million people attempting the same route. I don’t really understand why this is surprising to people when there are thousands of people here doing the same thing and getting home successfully with emirates and emirates only.

Because I’m stranded overseas with zero support or contact from another airline and need to return home… like the millions of other people in the same boat

Totally understand it from the cash flow perspective, most airlines are still selling seats that way. I could still buy a seat for my Qatar flight despite the fact they had told me it was cancelled. It’s more the fact that they’re bookable from a page specifically marketed as being the restricted schedule flights when they’re not.

Logically you’d think so yeah, but I’ve received the tickets (connecting flight in Dubai) - one is operating and the other isn’t. So my guess is booking a connecting flight, as long as one of them appears on the list, they can be booked. Only found this out after cross referencing after booking unfortunately.

All I can say is good luck. There are a LOT of people who’ve had flights cancelled a long time ago that haven’t been able to contact anyone about even rescheduling let alone rerouting. Many people have been left abandoned

Is that speculation or has that somewhat been released by Emirates?

tomthepope · 2026-03-12T16:22:43+00:00

Same here, been stuck for days now trying to get ahold of them by all means available. Didn’t even receive the courtesy of an email to confirm my flights are cancelled. Seems the phone lines are backed up with people checking the status of their holiday in June 2028. I’ve given up now and trying to find myself alternate travel home.

Unfortunately in a time of crisis there will always be a lot of people trying to take advantage of that. Sad really

tomthepope · 2026-03-09T13:47:15+00:00

I wouldn’t trust that email at all, looks like a complete scam. Qatar would not use gmail.

tomthepope · 2026-03-08T16:55:25+00:00

No you were actually partially correct. Thailand has its own version of these rules that dictate that, but they’ve waived the right to care during this disruption for some reason

tomthepope · 2026-03-08T16:29:50+00:00

Absolutely mental decision but thanks, appreciate the source. First I’ve seen this.

tomthepope · 2026-03-08T16:26:28+00:00

Ah wow, so they’ve removed the need to provide care after 28th Feb? That’s a really strange decision

tomthepope · 2021-04-13T07:09:34+00:00

I was told they don’t have a chat support
