All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Just an update after being on holiday, the TM service is still currently working, despite what it says on the TM website. Probably ceasing at the end of the month  :'(

Mine was still working this afternoon...

I liked traffic master and used it a lot, particulalrly when commuting to Coventry every day

End of the month.

Rumour has it, the Radio Agency (Home Office) have been putting TM under pressure to release their UHF National Transmission Licence (the bit that talks to the cars) or make proper use of it (Numbers Game), The Sensors and Receivers use Vodafone's Paknet and Paging so no issues there.

It winds me up something chronic to find out that something that is actually useful to me is now going to cease, in the short time ive used TM Oracle, ive found it very useful, radio TP programes are just utter rubbish and in the past ive used tomtom's TMC RDS receiver which i never found good because it was delayed, bearing in mind the last time i used that system was about 2 years ago, so maybe better now, dont know. At least with Oracle, i would know instantly to come off at the next junction to avoid traffic or avoid a major trunk road as its in real-time. Will be sad to see it go  :'(

Mine worked yesterday. Other than going to the BP to wear down the rear tyres, I've not been out today.
