Hmmm…I wonder why the @GWRHelp inspectors chose to walk past the 5 white men with luggage on seats in this carriage and then stop to tell an Asian woman that she had to move her luggage off the seat. Hmmm, I wonder…

@CrossCountryUK Blah blah blah

@Llywelyn1 Apologies for the delays this afternoon, Thomas. ^LA

There’s something even more hilarious about the driver “not being available” until 48 minutes after we’re due to leave because “of a discrepancy on the diagram”. What does “this train may depart” mean. @CrossCountryUK #NotHilariousAtAll #FFS #ThisCountryDoesntWorkAnyMore

No, man making the announcements, it is NOT like something from an Ealing comedy. It is VERY annoying and messing up a lot of people’s plans. @CrossCountryUK #ReallyNotFunny

There’s something quite hilarious about being late leaving Birmingham New St because we’re waiting for a driver who is driving a train which is late arriving at Birmingham New St @CrossCountryUK #OneJobGuys #PissUpInABrewery

@NationCymru He can call them what he wants and I’ll go on calling him an a-hole. #TitForTat

The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak has said he will continue to use the English name 'Brecon Beacons' instead of the park's ancient Welsh name - Bannau Brycheiniog nation.cymru/news/rishi-sun…

Not good enough @CrossCountryUK not good enough at all. You’re a train company and you can’t get carriages to where they’re meant to be? What the actual f**k can you do? What are the arrangements for a refund for having to sit on the floor? 10.32 York to Bristol, before you ask.

I knew that @DPDgroup_news were pretty useless but dear God, @YodelOnline tave takeb incompetence to a whole new level.

@madeinroath2022 We had some for Artes Mundi. Don’t know where they went but might be worth an ask. Any ideas @ArtesMundi @MelissaHinkin ?

Roath people, does anyone have a bean bag we could borrow?

@TheWilsonChelt I can’t find a closing date on your website for Clear of People. Can you let me know when that is?

Anybody else been treated appalingly by @bookingcom ?

@CrossCountryUK Well, you have been advised. I advised you.

@Llywelyn1 I would presume the reason for a set swap is due to a problem with the planned set. I can only apologise if there are no announcements regarding reservations onboard. Announcements are made by the Train Manager. I haven't been advised of any issues with the reservations. ^JM

Dear @CrossCountryUK What’s the point of allowing seats to be reserved if seats are not actually reserved? #confused

@CrossCountryUK So tell me @CrossCountryUK is it a fault or a decision? And why has nothing been said about it in the announcements?

@CrossCountryUK Or is it even 4 carriages? Either way…

@CrossCountryUK Yes, a 5 carriqge train, Edinburgh to Penzance via York, Birmingham & Bristol, on a bank holiday, would be pretty inadequate even with reservations.

@CrossCountryUK 11.44 at York on the Penzance train. If it’s a fault, an announcement would be helpful, either asking people in reserved seats marked as available to give them up to people with reservations, or asking people with reservations to give up on having a seat.

@Llywelyn1 Maybe there is a fault with the reservation system. Where did you board and at what time? ^JM

@tfwrail So good to hear an English language announcer who can pronounce Welsh place names on my train this morning. Diolch! Diolch o’r galon! Can we finally wave goodbye to Flannelly, Ponteepool and Cwmbran?

Llongyfarchiadau enfawr @AnthonyShapland
