Independent ad-free activity and how it's supported

Posted by grahame at 04:50, 15th April 2026

From the Waterford Whisperer - many a true word written in jest.

“You know the drill at this point guys, buy the dip when the stock market opens, sell at a profit when I announce my predictable chickening out and reversal of my big loud announcement,” confirmed Trump after he announced the US would block the Strait Hormuz in retaliation to Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz.

I am fully aware that the link to "other means of transport" is tenuous (but it does exist) - but please bear with me. I spotted the following on the end of the article and, awake before 5 a.m., my mind is reflecting on independent, ad-free activity and how it's operated financially.

This is a wider thought (members will be relieved to know) than the Coffee Shop - also a question for our "Information at the Station" project ( https://www.melkshamstation.info/ ) and for the Melksham Transport User Group ( https://www.mtug.org.uk/ ).

The Coffee Shop forum is provided by customers of Great Western Railway (formerly First Great Western). The views expressed are those of the individual posters concerned. Visit https://www.gwr.com for the official Great Western Railway website. Please contact the administrators of this site at admin@railcustomer.info if you feel that the content provided by one of our posters contravenes our posting rules. Our full legal statment is at https://www.greatwesternrailway.info/legal.html

Although we are planning ahead, we don't know what the future will bring here in the Coffee Shop. We have domains "firstgreatwestern.info" for w-a-y back and also "greatwesternrailway.info"; we can also answer to "greatbritishrailways.info" too. For the future, information about Great Brisish Railways, by customers and for customers.
