@DENAirport DIA is lucky this individual was “only” suicidal and not a terrorist wearing an explosive vest. This never should have happened at an American airport, let alone one of the busiest airports in the country. Time to bolster security around the perimeter of DIA’s runways.

We would like to thank Silkmen supporters for their patience in what has been a busy few days in the lead up to our Play-Off Eliminator against Chester. Our staff have been working around the clock to firm up every last detail to make Wednesday a success. Our Main Office will be open this evening from 5pm-8:30pm for any Silkmen supporters looking to purchase a ticket for Wednesday night's clash. Supporters will need to bring at least one of the following: - Identification of an address in the Macclesfield area - History of previous purchases from a game in the 2025/26 season Thank you for your continued support. Up the Silks💙

@EastMidRailway Thanks, the next available service ( that I am now on ) gets me too late to Birmingham for my booked train from there, so that's a new ticket cost. My original question stands- why book me a suicidally short connection ?

@DisBoDatBo Good afternoon, Martin. If you are delayed and miss your connection, please speak top station staff at Shrewsbury who can advise on the next available service. Also if you are delayed dover 15 minutes, I recommend filing for delay repay with Transport for Wales. ^EA

@EastMidRailway Good afternoon - can you explain why your system booked me such a short connection ? Inbound train to Shrewsbury was delayed so I missed the 17.30 I will now miss my onward train from Birmingham too :-(

@transport_wales Hello - people smoking on the platform at Church Stretton - is the "not smoking" even vaguely realistic when there are no staff here to enforce ?

@CrossCountryUK Hi do you have "praise" schemes ? if so, can I commend the Train Manager on the 08.07 Nottingham-Cardiff service? He joined @ Birmingham and his communication of two tricky delays has been top class. He is also very smartly dressed which makes a change for XC 🙂

@EMASNHSTrust Belated thanks to the crew who attended me on Saturday night (28th) when I was acutely ill and took me to A&E. Sadly didn't catch their names ( I was a bit "out of it" ! ) but a Beechdale crew circa 8.15pm. 10 minute response was fantastic !

I joined @NHSGrampian as CEO 6 months ago. The improvement journey had already started and has continued throughout 25/26 with many signs of progress that are positively impacting patient and staff experience, whilst in no way shying away from the distance we still have to travel. I have been hugely impressed with the commitment and determination of staff across our organisation to work together, including with system partners to do the best for our patients and the communities we serve. In the coming days we’ll share more details summarising our 25/26 progress and set out our priorities for 26/27 which were approved by our Board last week, and which will allow us to build further on this year’s achievements. For now - thank you #TeamGrampian. It’s a privilege to lead this organisation. There is much to look forward to. I go into 26/27 with nothing other than optimism and positivity about what we can achieve by working together across @NHSGrampian, with our partners in the North-East of Scotland, sub-nationally in the East of Scotland and nationally. #ProudToBeNHSG

@SimonCalder Simon ( for some reason DMs to you no longer work ) : yesterday experienced EES at Rome Fiumicino with a total time of 100 minutes to actually exit airport - in your view is that because it's "new" or will it be like this every time ? Martin

@DisBoDatBo @railwayjunctio Who wants to sit on a 800 for a few hours? The seats are literal shite on them. The refurbishment is not pointless as it refreshes the interiors that haven't had anything done to them since the 2000s.

@railwayjunctio Scotrail currently planning to keep the HSTs until 2030 ( according to a Maintenance Manager I spoke to ) Given that they are unreliable and taking 85% of the annual maintenance budget that seems short-sighted

@TrainLifeGB ScotRail doesn’t have a big enough budget to by everything brand new for what they need so knew they would have to get second hand trains from somewhere and meridians are reliable trains, XC is looking to get a handful more voyagers so all of them will be with XC

@Hull_Trains Not sure if anyone at HT actually reads these ( DMs don't seem to work ) but can I heap praise on the Customer Host in coach E of the 10.08 Grantham to King's Cross today ( 12th ) - super pleasant, professional and efficient, service with an "real" smile ! Thanks

@BBCkatyaadler Hi Katya your Balkans programme ( episode 1 ) was terrific. Having been to the area several times ( and Bosnia far more beautiful than Croatia) I still learnt far more about the conflicts than I had previously understood !
