2/2 I’m currently on a v busy train and people are not taking empty seats because they say the destination station (photo).

@AvantiWestCoast 1/2 PLEASE! - Can you change how you label reserved seats to help passengers find seats. 1. Label where ‘reserved from’ 2. Once train has left the station, change to ‘available’.

@AvantiWestCoast @northernassist @TPExpressTrains 1/2 PLEASE - can you all make announcements for, and have crew maintain these standards of respect and decency to make rail travel actually enjoyable…

2/2 1. ‘The only thing that goes on seats is your bum- no bags, animals or feet’ 2. ‘Please use headphones when using devices and no use of speakers’

@TPExpressTrains @northernassist @AvantiWestCoast Like this on one of your trains right now. 😬

@ScottyExplore @northernassist @AvantiWestCoast Hi Scotty. Thank you for the suggestion. You can log your feedback here on our website tpexpress.co.uk/help/customer-…. ^KM

@TPExpressTrains @northernassist @AvantiWestCoast 1/2 Suggestions to make train travel more enjoyable. Regular announcements to say: 1. Only thing on seats should be your bum. No feet, bags or dogs. 2. Use headphones for playing all media.

2/2 Have train crew implement the above when they walk through the train. Help make the country less selfish and train travel more enjoyable!

@Cumbriapolice Maybe an opportunity to offer ‘words of advice’ after following a cyclist wearing black and no lights going through a red light on a grim night down Windermere Road, Kendal? Or just ignore such things and wait for the call to pick up the pieces? #cycling

Or ‘Train Manager’ rather than conductor.

@AvantiWestCoast 1/2 On the 18.30 EUS to OXE. Conductor announced before leaving Euston that ‘this is a peak service train, anyone with off peak tickets should either get off, or be prepared to pay to upgrade to a peak ticket’

2/2 This is wholly incorrect. Peak only for tickets to PRE. Off peak beyond. A number of confused (including elderly) people frantically got off before we left. How many unnecessarily? Really poor service.

@TPExpressTrains just got the 18.04 MIA-Oxenholme. Staff member Justin a thoroughly wonderful genuine jolly chap. Put him charge of customer service training. :-)

@ProgressiveRug @Murray_Kinsella @owen_faz @RFU @EnglandRugby @GoodBadRugby

@ProgressiveRug @Murray_Kinsella The best thing @owen_faz could do is appeal the decision himself! Would set a great example of upholding the rugby values of integrity and honesty.

🚨Breaking news According to @Murray_Kinsella World Rugby will appeal the Owen Farrell decision. This would be highly unusual but welcome news.

@FloraSCooper 1/3 Ofsted is an example of everything wrong with the education system; every few years you have one or two days to display your competence under stressful examination conditions after which you are given a grade or label which sticks with you for life.

What is the ONE thing you think that Ofsted needs to change that would have the biggest impact? Why do you think this? What would you replace it with? (If relevant) Serious answers only, please. Thank you! #ShineOn #BurnBrighter

@FloraSCooper 3/3 This would be on a continuous basis by sharing knowledge, experience, expertise and best practice from across other schools. If the schools don’t improve, then the advisors should be given the ‘requires improvement’ or ‘inadequate’ rating!

@FloraSCooper 2/3 If they really cared about the development of schools and students, all schools would have OFSTED advisors - not inspectors. People who regularly visit the school to offer them suggestions and advice on how to improve.
