Evening folks.

We've made some minor changes to the forum this weekend;

• The fleet lists and Bygone Era links are back - they were temporarily removed following the recent updates to Flickr and changes to their API (which meant the photos didn't work).
  
• The header bar is now in white rather than black, intended to be less intrusive.
  
• The forum homepage includes a new 'chatbox' - designed for users to chat among each other, without fear of 'clogging up' the main forum threads with general chit-chat.
  
• 'View unread posts' option is now back.
  
• A new 'announcement' section is now available on the forum homepage.
  

Appreciate everyone's thoughts and feedback on these developments. If anything appears buggy, let us know and we'll try and get it fixed.

Cheers,
Dan.

The palaver around velo Midlands, currently in the news, has had me thinking about this. The road closures are extensive, with Durham itself, pretty much cut in two on the morning of the event but some roads, towards the end of the route, closed for most of the day.

I think it's going to be a nightmare for buses that normally travel through Bowburn and much of the area towards Fishburn, Sedgefield etc.
