@c2c_Rail Hello, this is Barking

@LConnectedBlog Hi. We are sorry to hear this. Can you kindly confirm what Station you are referring to?

@c2c_Rail have you considered displaying Underground departures on the concourse so people know which platform to dash to? There was a mad stampede across platforms once people realised the next train is P3 and it is very dangerous.

@irabukht You can do it with just one layover in London, Paris or Frankfurt, you don't need 2-4

how does a direct Bangalore–SF flight not exist yet? It's either $3k one way or a miserable 2–4 layovers

@WasSamLowryEsq @Wren_Poltics @doctor_rahmeh So just like the St John's Ambulance then?

@LConnectedBlog @Wren_Poltics @doctor_rahmeh Only if they know who to call. These ambulances are not serviced by 999 - smooth brain.

If the jewish ambulance service Hatzola is available for everyone, how come I just spent 10 minutes searching for an emergency number and none seem to be online? They claim to reach emergencies in 2–5 minutes.

@freshlybakedbro @Wren_Poltics @doctor_rahmeh Sounds like you are

@LConnectedBlog @Wren_Poltics @doctor_rahmeh Are you a moron? 😂

@Tinebobagain @Wren_Poltics @doctor_rahmeh and I assume you know it costs more than 45K to staff the equivalent NHS ones right?

@LConnectedBlog @Wren_Poltics @doctor_rahmeh Taxpayers money

@freshlybakedbro @Wren_Poltics @doctor_rahmeh Why would you want to contact an ambulance with only 4 vans which is probably based miles away from where you are when you have the entire NHS fleet. But anyway like I said if you'd rather wait ages when in a life threatening condition the numbers are in this chain 😂

@LConnectedBlog @Wren_Poltics @doctor_rahmeh Yea just tell us how to contact them when needed and that would be great! Thanks

@Wren_Poltics @doctor_rahmeh I don't know if you're just smooth brained. But funnily enough if Hatzola are going to staff an entire ambulance off their own back, that's an ambulance and an NHS crew that the general public have available to them.

@doctor_rahmeh Hatzola Northwest emergency number 0300 999 4999 I recommend everyone in north London uses it from now on, seeing as Wes Streeting is taking money off our NHS to replace old ambulances that were due to be decommissioned anyway.

@jackie_bus @SincerelyTops @Sarel_x Guy breaks law, guy gets arrested for breaking law. What is Lammy meant to do here?

@SincerelyTops @Sarel_x I will never forget when people reached out to David Lammy regarding the incarceration of 18 y/o Marcus Fakana in Dubai. And he didn’t help despite Marcus being his constituent and David being the Foreign Sec. LAMMY OUT.

@Paulgway2 @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK Where would be the middle of nowhere on the Victoria Line then?

@LConnectedBlog @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK In the middle of nowhere, or in-between stations in a tunnel, if there is a safe way out a driver can do that. I spent nearly 4 decades working under the streets of London. You'd be thankful if you were on a train with a driver to take the appropriate actions.

Fully automate the London Underground and sack them all.

@Paulgway2 @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK Can it not be dealt with a PSA that's walking up and down the train and actually earning their wage as opposed to being sat there doing nothing and being paid for it?

@LConnectedBlog @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK If it's railway safety again enlighten me. I'm genuinely curious. Trains travel long distances between stations. So if something happens between stations and something goes wrong. Do you wait for hours for help or does it get dealt with promptly by train drivers on board staff.

@Paulgway2 @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK Not sure, you seem to think you know a lot. Can I read your book please?

@LConnectedBlog @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK So educate me. I'd like to learn something new. Have you got a book about it. Maybe I could read it to. Never to old to learn something new.

@Paulgway2 @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK But my point is that it's not about what the driver does or doesn't know, the point is that a driver won't evacuate a train by themselves as the ratio of 1:800 people is not a safe ratio.

@LConnectedBlog @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK Safety of what is the question. You seem very vague in your answers to questions. You were asked a very straight forward question as to what you know about what a driver does or does not know. Wasn't a difficult question. Yet you have failed to answer that simple question.

@Paulgway2 @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK I have a knowledge on the economy and have a considerable background in safety. Sounds like you are the keyboard warrior to me 🤔

@LConnectedBlog @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK So that's a no from you again then. Talk the talk. Walk the walk. Keyboard warrior with no idea about what they write.

@Paulgway2 @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK Do you have any knowledge? Of course any tube driver will just try to argue to support their extremely overinflated salary.

@LConnectedBlog @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK So what do you know then. What's your knowledge of being an underground driver. Seems to me you have a vast knowledge of it. Fully qualified by the sound of it.

@Paulgway2 @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK You didn't pose a question for me to reply to...so how am I meant to reply? Maybe Sherlock can teach you a good detective asks questions 😉

@LConnectedBlog @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK So nothing then. Just thought you'd add a comment for comments sake then.

@Paulgway2 @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK Enough to know its better to rid them and have them doing PSA type duties.

@LConnectedBlog @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK So you know all there is to know about a drivers responsibility then.

@Paulgway2 @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK Sorry are you trying to tell me the tube driver will escort hundreds of passengers by themselves. Maybe Sherlock will teach you something about common sense 😅

@LConnectedBlog @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK And if there's not time to wait for station staff sherlock. Who do you think does it.

@dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK On the London Underground you aren't guided off by a tube driver though? Station staff walk down to get you

@LConnectedBlog @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK Presumably they might be able to guide you to safety, rather than wandering in the dark and treading on the 3rd rail.

@CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK what does a tube train having a driver got to do with that?

@WillCalverleyUK How would you like to be stuck in a deep level tube tunnel with no means of escape?
