@En_croute @Ryanair Asked the same question re. BRS to BZR a couple of weeks ago... no answer...

Hey @Ryanair you seem to have no flights between Béziers (BZR) and any London airport after October. Is this a timetable delay, or are you ceasing operations from BZR after the summer?

@Ryanair Has your Bristol-Béziers route been cancelled for summer 2026 or has the schedule just not yet been released? Thank you!

Just to say to anyone trying to sort this out, the answer was to call the German service centre and select German language rather than English. That seemed to send me to someone with access to the right system (though I can speak German so might be harder for others)…

BTW - the reason I am adding this after booking is because no rail&fly option appeared in the 'additional services' section of the booking page. To test the theory of what counts as international, I just tried to book a flight from the USA. Same problem - no Rail&Fly option.

@lufthansa Called your service center to add Rail&Fly to my LHR-FRA booking. Was told it has to be an international flight. I said this is UK to Germany - so it's international. They then said - no, international means outside of Europe?! Surely this is not correct?

@RadioMunkeh @lufthansa Did you ever get anywhere with this by any chance? I've been told no by three different agents now (even though in theory they thought it possible, but were getting an error when trying). The final agent told me the reason was that LHR-FRA wasn't an international flight?!

@lufthansa Hello, we have flights booked from Heathrow to Frankfurt for August. Are we able to add Rail and Fly tickets as we now plan to travel by train to our final destination near Greiz?

@ATGTICKETS my husband booked tickets with you as a surprise for me today - he then realised he booked them for one day later than he meant to (he was looking at the wrong year!) - anything he can do?

@DHLPaket Done - thank you in advance!

We can certainly check what we have regarding this shipment in our systems. However, we cannot intervene once the shipment is in the destination country or if it has been in transit for too long. In that case, a trace must be initiated by the sender. Please email the details, including the shipment number and your address, to twitter@dhl.com. Also, include your username in the subject line. We will take care of it. Best regards ^TD

@DHLPaket Are you able to help me with a query about a parcel coming from Germany to the UK?

@liber_ray @DrDavidRundle @bodleianlibs @richove Phew - was just about to cry as I went through a final edit of an article and needed to check refs!

Bad news, good news for all manuscript scholars. That wonderful resource for provenance research, MLGB3, is still down but @bodleianlibs has updated the text. There is now a statement of 'firm intention to rebuild the resource' and to develop MLGB4. Thank you, @richove

@HugenJelmar Come back to see us again soon, Jelmar :)

@Stewart_Brookes @DrDavidRundle I hear you also made the most of your successful gatecrashing by singing very beautifully in the Q&A…

@MedievalDigigal @DrDavidRundle I went for the “gatecrash” option (hereafter known as “gatecrashgate”) and am v glad that I did! Further validation of the well-regarded maxim: “If in doubt, listen to Leah” 😏

For more bookish excitement, do come along TODAY - still time to book.

Great review for one of our Elements in Publishing and Book Culture. Well done, @SamuNiskanen

@Stewart_Brookes @DrDavidRundle

@MedievalDigigal @DrDavidRundle

@Stewart_Brookes @DrDavidRundle Gatecrash.

@DrDavidRundle Apparently not 🥲

@colinmcenroe @leverus @Archaeology_ws It was a pleasure to talk to you, @colinmcenroe! And to @leverus, of course. Thanks so much for the invitation.

This is a wonderful episode. Great work by the producer to find equally thoughtful and entertaining guests. Feat. @leverus @MedievalDigigal @Archaeology_ws Check out the podcast. ctpublic.org/show/the-colin…

@maregan_le_fay I am a particular fan of this, as well as bringing all the same old ID again, when you are just doing a renewal (that was me at the Bod last week)…

"Academics wanting to use the special collections must bring a letter of introduction." OK, but from whom? And at what career stage are introductory letters no longer a requirement? I've been working with archival materials for 10 years at this point...
