Technical Information for this Web Site

By January 2021, many of the pages on this web site had not been updated for several years and unfortunately had garnered many broken links over time with some information that was no longer relevant. A major overhaul of this site was very necessary and brought with it some new features; and these are mentioned below.

Uncollected fares can be paid here

Your Webmaster doesn't know how many hours has been put in to research and create this web site, but it is conservatively considered to be around a thousand hours. Then there is the yearly hosting and domain name registration fees to be paid of around £70 per year, which has come out of my back pocket. If only there was a way to collect a few pennies from each visitor to buy a pint every now and then, that would go down really well!

Maybe there is. If you have derived pleasure for visiting this site today, then click on the 'Pay Now' button in the image above. Overwrite the box called "Price per item" with the amount of your donation and press the Continue button. The minimum sum that can be transmitted is 50p.
