Replying to @AvantiWestCoast
@AvantiWestCoast Hello, I'm trying to buy tickets for two 14-year-olds from Manchester to London, but your phone person said they need an adult with them. But that's not true, is it? I was previously told they can travel if they both have letters of permission from parents.

You can't buy tickets without an adult on your website, which is why I was told to try on the phone. I'm not sure your staff member knew the rules.

Andor: 29 brilliant and *very* minor characters, ranked. A THREAD I don't post here any more because.... well, you know. But this (should be) so uncontroversial and it's so off my usual subject I'm giving it a go. ** contains some spoilers **

2. Ulaf This ageing and ailing prisoner on the brink of release – they all believe – is raging against his own dying light, angrily insisting he can work as hard anyone amid increasing confusion. A deeply moving performance by Christopher Fairbank.

1. Dr Gorst Who else? Joshua James is on screen for a matter of minutes, even counting his haunting of Bix’s dreams, but his puppyishly eager explanation of the appalling interrogation method he has helped devise is very genuinely unsettling.
