I suspect the lookup website had a few more visitors than usual when I was trying. No one could have predicted that...
 
Serious question as I'm a tad unsure, I am in a tier 2 area as is London, to travel into London has me going via Slough train station and Slough is in Tier 3. Is that journey fine?

I think it actually depends on the reason for the journey. Okay if for work otherwise not sure.
 
I'm in a Tier 3 area, but I can walk to a pub half a mile away that's over the county border in Tier 2. Not that I would, of course - I've not been in a pub or restaurant since January - but plenty of my neighbours will make the journey. They wouldn't walk, though - they use their cars for any journey more than a couple of hundred yards.

Not if you are following the rules you can't. you aren't allowed to travel to a tier 3 area from a tier 2 or vice versa.

This is why sensible organisations do capacity forecasting and planning and use cloud hosting that can upscale rapidly when needed. Simples.

Well, as a general principle, don't enter Slough.....

Is a railway station a "public space"? If so my quick skim of the UK's rules suggest only six people may be there at once.

The first duty of the British government is to its subjects. The Chancellor is providing £4 billion of taxpayers’ money to support the economies of the midlands and the north this parliament.
 
The government has cut £1bn from the rail infrastructure budget following the chancellor's Spending Review.
Rishi Sunak had previously promised record infrastructure investment as part of the government's "levelling up" agenda.
Until now, Network Rail's "enhancement" budget for the five year period from 2019-24 had been set at £10.4bn.
But, this week rail minister Chris Heaton-Harris said that the budget would now be £9.4bn.
That has put a question mark over some long-planned improvements to rail infrastructure.

But they will keep pouring billions and billions down the HS2 ********.
