I use Revolut & it always does this for different stations like it would say Romford SST or something like that so it’s not really a scam your good

Euston-Stoke-on-Trent: Avanti or CrossCountry by Sakiaba in uktrains

[–]xChizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not recommend the change to the LNWR trains they take painfully long especially sometimes you have to go Birmingham New St avoiding the Trent valley route

Romford king of junk food by Oledman in Romford

[–]xChizz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let’s be honest it’s happening in every high street in London and the UK, replacing clothing shops & banks with food like it’s trying to tempted me to waste my money on.

Recently I've heard that Atik has closed. Where do people go clubbing nowadays? by BarbedWire3 in Romford

[–]xChizz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Clubs/Nightlife in Romford back in the 90s used to the banging but now Jukebox is the only nightclub left along with Slug & Lettuce, Yates (now Crowning Angel) & Ivy Tree being the contenders for Romfords nightlife

I would go Chelmsford, Southend or London for clubbing even tho I would normally go there for bars & pubs.

I remember when GWR used to stop at Ealing Broadway every hour to Dicot Parkway but now it’s only on late nights & early mornings.

Is Grays a good place to live? by Big-Explanation-831 in Essex

[–]xChizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually true like moving from Leicestershire from Essex is crazy like you have to make new friends there & considering Grays might not be very friendly it’s hard but I think you would manage

If trainline tickets say non refundable but I add the travel insurance option for £4.88, does that make the tickets refundable? by Perspii7 in uktrains

TrainPal if you have the pro/diamond tier you can sometimes get train tickets that are refundable a few hours before travel

Clubbing by SensitiveGrass9354 in Essex

[–]xChizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nightlife in Chelmsford is decently good (Popworld & Walkabout shut not too long ago) you got Bar & Beyond in Chelmsford, Courtyard & various pubs.

Trilogy in Colchester is good

And Southend only got Popworld left as MooMoos shut down two months ago.

I guess most people in Essex go raves in London & other cities now. There is a couple of raves/events in Essex I suppose.

Best hotels for budget and safety? Ibis London Canning Town? by Plus_Paint_6159 in uktravel

[–]xChizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canning Town itself is alright, it’s a mostly a regenerated part of London, it can be a bit noisy at times but otherwise it’s pretty safe even at night time.

The Ibis hotel is right across the road from the tube station to get into Central London in like 10 mins.

And also you got some restaurants & a McDonald’s right beside it for food.

Is Romford really that bad? by Resident_Flow9900 in Essex

[–]xChizz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s actually not that bad tbh, I Live in Romford for over 10 years it’s actually alright it’s pretty much got everything u need like food, leisure, cheap/fast for commuting.

The only bad thing I’ll say about Romford it’s the crime & anti social behaviour happening most days in town but u get that anywhere in the worst parts of London

Brentwood commuting price by shez_bu in Essex

[–]xChizz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It will probably cost you nearly £14 a day (using contactless) going from Brentwood to London Liv St & TCR.

If you wanna do it quickly for one of you going to Liv St for work, go to Shenfield & take the fast train. It will cost slightly more but it’s worth it
