I MISSED out on public transport during the lockdown and I have had precious few reasons - no league chess to go to, for instance - for using it since.
But recently I saw the following serial number on a Northern Line train: 51578.
As usual, each number should be used once, and once only, and must be added, subtracted, multiplied or divided to make a balanced equation.

Clue: there is a perfect solution, ie a solution that uses each number in order.

My solution: 5 x 1 (÷ 5) + 7 = 8
I begin this blog after getting back into league chess following many years' absence due to work. My post-job status also means I am able to play more tournament chess. My new club in London is Battersea and my first game for them is on Thursday September 14, 2017. I start with a Fide rating of 1858, an ECF grade of 169 (=1968 elo) and an ICCF correspondence rating of 2267. My current Fide is 2009, my ECF is 1957 and my ICCF is 2325.
