@IslandRoads Please be aware that the diversion in place for the main Ryde Road closure is through Jellicoe road and by Ryde academy. Those roads have not been gritted and cars are sliding and it is dangerous. @IslandRoads @CouncilIsle @iwightradio @IWCounty_Press

@WightlinkTravel As you have cancelled the passenger ferry serve after 6pm, why not put on an extra car ferry to support passengers?? Absolute farce

Good Morning, our FastCat service will be running a shuttle service again today. Full details can be found on our WhatsApp channel and on our website. Both car ferry routes are running on time. Our Contact Centre team are open from now until 5pm but our lines will be very busy.

@WightlinkTravel Do you have any ideas when you’ll be running any ferries?

Sorry, due to thick fog on the Solent tonight, Wednesday, 5, March, some customers may experience delays of up to 40 mins on our Portsmouth Harbour – Ryde FastCat service.

@P_T_George Tom…. My wife and daughters were on that train 🤦‍♂️

I'm on a Metropolitan Line train that stops at Wembley. It's absolutely jam packed, but judging by what people are wearing, I think it's only me and the driver that aren't going to the Taylor Swift concert 🤣🤣 #Swifties

@MerseyFire Well deserved Phil 👍👍👍

Congratulations to our Chief Fire Officer Phil Garrigan who has been awarded the prestigious King’s Fire Service Medal (KFSM) from The Princess Royal during the investiture ceremony held at Windsor Castle today.

@paulrids 👍 wish you every success. Big loss to the service but I know you’ll smash whatever you go on to do. Keep in touch 👍

@SteveApterQFSM Thanks Steve. Hope you are well…Not retiring - just looking at a new chapter 👍

My final day…..Time to hang up my fire-kit & say a very fond farewell to @HantsIOW_fire - I’ve had an amazing career & worked with incredible people & teams along the way who all make a difference 👏 . Stay safe & look after each other 👍. #ProudToServe ❤️

@LondonFire @LFBWestminster Thoughts with all involved and affected by this tragic incident. ❤️

Today, seven years on from the #WestminsterBridge attacks, we remember those who sadly lost their lives and all those injured. Our @LFBWestminster crews will be laying a wreath today in their memory. Our thoughts are with their friends, family and everyone who was affected

@NeilOdin Thinking of all the teams involved Neil and watched on tv with pride (from Saudi!) stay safe ❤️👍

So very proud of the huge effort shown by front line teams and those behind the scenes and in partner organisations to keep residents and visitors safe.

@CFODaveRussel @manchesterfire The most important role and great to see you prioritising this Dave.. 👍

In the past couple of weeks I’ve had the pleasure of opening two ‘Frontline Leaders’ Courses, 22 newly appointed Crew Managers. Valuable opportunity to emphasise the importance of leadership at all levels & why it’s key to creating the culture we want at ⁦@manchesterfire⁩🚒

@CFODaveRussel @manchesterfire Well done and well deserved Dave. 👍👍👍

Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my career both in Lancashire and now in Greater Manchester. It’s a privilege to be a part of the ‘GMFRS family’ and the award recognises the efforts of everyone @manchesterfire Thank you..! TeamGMFRS 🚒

@DCCBenSnuggs Many congratulations Ben., 👍👍👍

I am truly humbled to have been awarded a King’s Police Medal for Distinguished Service. Great policing and community service relies on effective teamwork and I want to recognise and thank all the fantastic colleagues right across policing with whom I work.

@TheJonnyBugg Hi Jonny, have I missed something? Slightly out of the loop nowadays. Whatever you have planned I wish you all the very best and look forward to a very Happy Christmas and a great new year.

@LIVGolfUpdates So is the Saudi event at Jeddah or Riyadh….Want to get the tickets sorted to welcome The Big Man here !!

⛳️✈️ UPDATE: Jon Rahm has touched down in NYC ahead of meetings with LIV execs where they will prepare and finalize the last details of his move to #LIVGolf. Topics today include details surrounding his new team and the league expansion that comes with it, future plans for LIV, as well as interviews and photoshoots for the announcement. The deal is done, just hammering out the details ahead of what will be one of the biggest announcements since LIV has launched. Expect the official announcement tonight or tomorrow depending on how much they are able to get finalized this afternoon. 📈

@P_T_George I’m actually in Jeddah!! But that photo isn’t me!

Great day today in Jeddah. I looked out for @SteveApterQFSM but sadly no luck. Apparently as we leave Jeddah, bound for Abu Dhabi we enter a High Risk Area, risk of piracy. Our captain is in continuous contact with US and UK warships that are nearby. I'm ready.....

@P_T_George I’m waving!! Can you see me?

Transiting the Suez Canal today. We're leading a convoy of 24 ships heading south to the Red Sea. 🇪🇬 Africa on the right. Asia on the left.

@spookthefireman Sending best wishes for whatever life brings you next. Thanks for your service 👍

So today is my last ever day as an FDS officer for HIWFRS, tomorrow is the start of my pre-retirement leave. First shout after 10 minutes…… but will it have been my last??

@uknip247 @davegrahamS025 @thefirecamera @HantsIOW_fire @hiwfrs_control Pipe and slippers!??? I wish

@davegrahamS025 @thefirecamera @HantsIOW_fire @hiwfrs_control Are you coming back as training or are you getting your pipe and slippers like @SteveApterQFSM

Well @HantsIOW_fire that’s it just booked on for the very last On Call as a flexi officer. Let’s see what the next 24hrs bring hopefully @hiwfrs_control will send me a few shouts?🙏 #bestjobintheworld#proudtoserve

@CFODaveRussel @GMFRSrtcteam @manchesterfire Great support from the top Dave which is essential. Recognising how working with @_ukro helps drive improvements to care we provide casualties across our communities. Not just for the teams who take part but for the whole organisation. 👍

I called in on one of the training exercises this week👇blown away by the professionalism of our @GMFRSrtcteam who are the UK Champions for the past 2 years. Very proud to see @manchesterfire on the world stage..! 🌎 🚒 Also huge thanks to Hannah from our amazing comms team 👏
