Sadly it's not true....the Cheeky Girls will not be running our network services!

We have a Petitions facility on talkloco but so far it hasn't been over-used. I was looking at the Prime Minister's e-petitions site (www.number10.gov.uk) and there are loads of petitions that relate to travel and trains specifically. Some of them are franchise specific, and it strikes me they would stand a better chance of success if they were addressed directly to the Train Operating Company. This is where talkloco can facilitate the process, so if I can only find a way of contacting the petitioners we could perhaps start to generate some more movement.

If you have a gripe and some constructive suggestions for fixing the issue, but can't be bothered to start a petition, just send us a note of it at talkloco via the contact form. We'll send it on the the train company and publish their response.

On that note, we have sent on the less-than-positive (putting it mildly) feeback received about the one-way arrangements in place for access to Kings Cross underground to TFL, and will see what they say.

In terms of the talkloco site itself, our attempt to open up the forum for visitors as well as members was quickly scuppered by zillions of emails for certain enhancement products! So we are back to members only.

If you are interested in writing a regular blog for the website, doesn't have to be travel-related, then please let us know and we would be happy to look at publishing.
