@northernassist The service that is no longer a service. No trains, no team, fines, fines and more fines. THEN remove the use of rail cards for trains before 10am. Meaning especially students, young adults, your future customers yet again being ripped off and stranded. #notfitforpurpose

@AndyBurnhamGM @northernassist interested to know why when booking a Northern Train ticket on the day of travel the ticket apps error and as you refresh, the price of the tickets go up several times? Not just a one off, daily for several ‘loyal’ customers at a time.Another scheme

@northernassist The SAME price ticket. He got to work late due to your late train in the morning, worked longer. He is an apprentice & can’t afford to purchase several tickets a day. Standing room only. Son has a disability. BUT you keep fining away! Northern is not fit for purpose.

@MrsVFarrar HI Victoria, if this was an advance ticket for a specific service this would only be valid on the booked service sadly. I'm sorry for this. ^LN

@northernassist Please explain,why you insist on trying to fine your customers? Son has travelled on your lines for 3yrs. Yesterday he left work late; he used his pre booked ticket for the hour he should have travelled. The same ticket price. Yet you tell him “Wrong ticket!”

@northernassist You say “Sorry” Meaning; pitying, sympathetic, regretful? Constant cancelled trains x constant delayed trains x constant fines = constant upset, confused, late for work, depressed, ripped off customers BUT massive profits for Northern. The company should be ashamed.

@canalguy17 @northernassist @RailDeliveryGrp @LouHaigh They rub their hands together in glee for the sheer volume of fine policies they bake into their ticketing systems. Constant cancelled trains x constant delayed trains x (proud of their own) fine policies = pissed off, ripped off, broken customers BUT massive profits!

In today's rounds of #WorldCupOfStations we call at the four regions fighting for a space in the semi-finals spanning from up in the North East down to Yorkshire & Humber and from East and to West Midlands. Our network really does cover a huge part of the England, and it's not even all covered in the regions listed today.

@northernassist Such a POOR service, no service, broken service. Constantly leaving passengers (some vulnerable) stranded especially late in the evenings, not just weekends but during the week too. Not offering rail replacement yet people have purchased tickets and you don’t refund. Shocking.

@northernassist Not even just a Sunday. Many evening Northern trains cancelled throughout the week too. Leaving passengers stranded. Can no longer trust the service. It’s a broken service

@northernassist Standard replies. No real action, interest in the serivce you don’t supply. I think I will save myself from further upset and frustration caused by Northern Rail. A failing government owned company

@MrsVFarrar Sorry to hear this, the engineering information can be found on our timetables page. If you wish to speak about this further you can do so here: northernrail.my.site.com/s/contactsuppo… ^EK

@northernassist You’re government owned When you cancel trains, are you thinking of the people you leave stranded. 20 year old son has a part time job; 6 of his trains cancelled this week alone. Money earned for each shift spent on Taxi’s. Stranded at midnight WHY? #costofliving

@northernassist No mention of this on the service updates. For the last two to three years you have been appalling, it’s constant. Young adults are unable to make a living using Northern as a means of transport. Service is not fit for purpose.

@MrsVFarrar Sadly this line is being affected by engineering work meaning that buses are running, the bus was at 0154. ^VR

@northernassist He did thanks to Uber. Taxi firms must be the only companies gaining from your constant cancelled trains. 00:02 Wilmslow to Crewe. It is constant, poor and embarrassing for the UK. You have a duty to protect the public #costofliving #Government #protectthepublic #dutyofcare

@MrsVFarrar Hi Victoria, I'm sorry for the issues here. Which service are you referring to and did he manage to get home OK?^LN

bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… Having had four children go through education; Is the simple answer not as the BBC photo depicts? White t-shirt, plain black shorts/joggers/leggings; with no branding. Plain white/black/grey socks. Trainers. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@parthaskar There are 1000’s out there that have it, the issue…. The system doesn’t allow it, the system breaks you down 😢

What I would want for the person to have- who wants to take over my #T1D role? Passion. Not be swayed by any “bigger picture”. Advocacy at all cost. Try & personally help every individual-not palm off to “system” Ability to challenge. If you have it? It’s yours. Do you?

@romankemp I look forward to watching this. It is close to my heart and a huge part of my life and mission for the last 5 years. We have just closed LovedBy; focused on the health of young adults; here is why; @matt_95263/why-its-time-to-end-the-lovedby-chapter-of-our-lives-9250d8a7cc5a" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@matt_95263/wh…

@T1Diabolical It’s similar when I collect my sons prescriptions every month for the last 6.5 years. “Will he need to repeat his prescription for next month?” To which I reply every time “Yes, every month for the rest of his life” ….. same person asks me the same question every time 🤦🏼‍♀️

Voicemail from the GP surgery: “We can see you haven’t had a diabetes check up at the surgery.” (I regularly see the diabetes team at the hospital.) “Please let us know if you’re still diabetic so that we can update your records if necessary.” Sorry, what?!?! 🤦‍♀️😡

@parthaskar Your weekend? …. Burnout?

And finally? Time for the weekend A week of: Conference Clinics Lectures Flights Trains Negotiations #T1Diabetes #PhysicianAssociate #Racism Multiple battles Tired body, content soul A weekend beckons Thank you to all who lend their kindness, love and support 💕

@Paulalondonnews @FordMagdalena @parthaskar @GillianKeegan You’re bored by your own lack of empathy and education.

@JeremyClarkson And to top it off ‘breaking’ news! 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣 Oxford Mail need to understand the difference between a ‘planning application’ and a ‘discharge of conditions’ 🙄

This story is not true. There are no plans to expand the farm shop. I do wish headline writers would pay attention.

@Englishomestead @parthaskar @hilarynathan01 @DiabeticDadUK @Rezaidi @LalanthaL @chrisbrighty1 @LinsayHalladay @Kes_t1D_SW @diabetes_chat @Sheffield_DUK @ChrisAskewCE I believe this list is referring to approved vs no approval for access to DexcomOne. So yes other CGMs are currently available in areas highlighted red

“We are not happy that names are being made public about #DexcomOne Access “ Aww. Ok Let me bring back the “maps” then. England & Wales 7 ICS. Pending. Out of 42 Green: Approved for use Red: Not approved Note: Those who haven’t- formal queries coming Reply. #T1D #gbdoc
