@Matt_Pinner Yup 100%

I’ll ask again Did parents in the 70s/80s/90s really allow their kids to roam freely, or is that just a portrayal seen in movies

@masekwm @TLRailUK @HawthorneSJJ @SouthernRailUK Haha someone doesn't remember the 313s that were replaced. They were noisy and smelt of burning when at full speed. Drivers often had to get out to isolate transaction motors. It was basic in the extreme. Oh, 3 car units too, what a laugh that was!!!

@TLRailUK @HawthorneSJJ @SouthernRailUK The trains were out of date when they were delivered, they're definitely out of date today - it's still pot luck if the train has wifi never mind power at your seat.

Does @TLRailUK provide mobile charging points on its trains? They go from Brighton to Luton at least. None on my train to Brighton from East Croydon today. Curiously. @SouthernRailUK (same owners) always provides sockets. Left with 22% charge on the way back. Too low for comfort!

@TLRailUK Oh don't worry that post got delayed 8hrs for some reason

@codek1 Hi, where are you travelling to please? ^Kieran

@TLRailUK wow diverting a train to kgx after leaving fpk without announcing it is pretty frustrating

@TLRailUK Well northern line is borked so I've just got back on Thameslink at stp how on earth will all that be charged

@codek1 Hi Dan. Sorry about this. Services have been affected by a points failure. More information here: x.com/TLRailUK/statu… ^Silva

@JitterySpree @keithdunn Lol the weather in the past 2 years was far too easy. Hopefully it creeps into Jan given climate change.

@keithdunn Should have had the race in early March. Why did he do it a month early? sheesh

The final runner has returned from loop 1. “This mud sucks. What’s it made of? Grease?” #BM100

Barkley Marathons course rundown for 2026. Recent changes, some course stats, and how its impacted recent performance. Distance and elevation are calculated as lines on map as if someone stayed 'perfectly on course'. #bm100 #BarkleyMarathon A Thread 🧵(1/8) '26 changes at (5/X)

@thewizardmelon1 @WorldOfOrdinary @keithdunn Then don't watch it, there's an unlimited amount of sport on TV...

@codek1 @WorldOfOrdinary @keithdunn I’m all for the rest of the rules, privacy etc. But gate keeping being able to follow the event, I find nonsensical.

A French runner has been tapped out. Nine runners remain on loop 2. #BM100

@keithdunn How's the raw chicken coming along? #bm100

While we wait for the next runners to come in we’ve been discussing ways to make future Barkleys easier on the runners. Future years will yield mass finishes. #BM100

@thewizardmelon1 @WorldOfOrdinary @keithdunn Lol that's the *whole* point. Read the history of the event. Its designed to be hard to consume as well as impossible to partake.

@WorldOfOrdinary @codek1 @keithdunn Why can’t we? Would it not bring more eyeballs to the event?

@thewizardmelon1 @keithdunn They gave up!

@keithdunn What forces a tap out?

@jossieoutlaw @taka_does_stuff Same doc just different tabs for each year

@codek1 @taka_does_stuff That’s from 2024. It’s pinned on Taka’s page.

#bm100 the ever excellent @taka_does_stuff spreadsheet is here docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Damian hall is a weird one too! #BM100

@MichaelFM92 There's nothing usual about the Barkley (Plus weather has been far too nice in recent years)

Also isn’t this usually in March? #BM100

We are SO back.

@BarkleyWeather do your thing, it's looking pretty easy going ATM #bm100

@keithdunn Omg scream!!!

The conch was blown at 5:00am. The 2026 Barkley Marathons begins in one hour. #BM100
