Spent an amazing weekend (between the torrential downpours) at Arnside Knott. High Brown Frit and Scotch Argus new species. #BC_Cumbria

@KymriskaDraken The only train with labels that shows the service name is the night riviera sleeper service

Here's a plan. Suppose I try to go on every named train in the UK. There aren't that many left now are there?

@KymriskaDraken No… During the time of window labels LNER had the west riding limited (up only) flying Scotsman (up only) and highland chieftain. They did name an Aberdeen the northern lights but it never had labels as such.

@aquanauts2019 @EastMidRailway @Felion84 Totally agree!

@EastMidRailway @Felion84 So many experts and not one mind reader

Come on @EastMidRailway give us an update on why we’ve just slammed to a sudden stop on this standing room only train. It’s not fun and it’s certainly not comfortable.

@Felion84 @EastMidRailway The regulation of train is in the hands of the network rail signallers, you dont know that the train that left first may be held later to allow your train to overtake. On train staff may not know what's going to happen.

@EastMidRailway And now loads of people are running across the platform at Stockport to another train - which has just left . Can those of us on the train actually get some info?! It’s not great service.

@JulieDo17311344 @supersonicade @Eddie_EH @mrwilldouglas Operation princess lasted one timetable and was replaced with more frequent services but with single or double units no spitting en route

@supersonicade @Eddie_EH @mrwilldouglas No

That was the worst and most unsafe train journey I’ve experienced. @CrossCountryUK you should be ashamed. You lay on a dirty, old train. And allow it to fill to the gunnels. People jammed in filling toilets, vestibules and luggage hold areas. Elderly and disabled people, and mums with young kids treated like cattle. Packed in like sardines. Plus no audible information - tannoy so quiet no one could hear. It’s dangerous for people to travel squashed like this and had I been travelling with my wife and children I’d have got off. From what I can see on X this is a regular occurrence. Mark my words - if there is a major tragedy involving an overcrowded train like this there will be horrendous and unnecessary loss of lives, and people rightly going to jail for turning a blind eye. XC Trains Ltd / Crosscountry Trains - you need to find a way to put the passengers before your profits and shareholders.

@JulieDo17311344 @supersonicade @Eddie_EH @mrwilldouglas The super voyagers replaced loco hauled services with 7 or 8 coaches.

@JulieDo17311344 @supersonicade @Eddie_EH @mrwilldouglas Sorry Julie but there were some 10 car trains formed by 2x 5 car units. It was called operation Princess and had double units split and connect on core routes with single units continuing to the extremities of the network. It didnt work was a disaster.

@ELLITE_ME Thanks... yeah not impressed with the 1%....

@dbound66 That’s insane 😭

Just spent my million blossoms, and about 200k of that was gambling with the kaijunior boxes 😭 (guess i'm never getting that scorching)

@LeoWaldock @jayforeman @Keir_Starmer They really didnt... it wouldn't have worked with the last part being to London

@jayforeman @Keir_Starmer They started the thing from the wrong end and appear to have no interest in the part that actually matters. How about moving Parliament to Halifax and see how that shakes things up.

For 14 years, the Tories let Nimbys and zealots clog up our legal system and stop the government building the infrastructure Britain needs. I won't stand for it. As part of our Plan for Change, we're taking on the blockers to get Britain building again. dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…

@JasonGreen464 @riri65835822 @NellTho55693669 @elonmusk Im not diverting. There is a problem with certain gangs, but its not the biggest issue. Online grooming is by far the largest issue. Alexander McCartney abused more kids than the grooming gangs, including one little girl who sadly killed herself.

@dbound66 @riri65835822 @NellTho55693669 @elonmusk We do have a nonce problem and sadly it does seem to go to the highest positions but you don't divert away from dealing with some of the worst with whataboutism. One of the diverters on the Pakistani problem a Jewish labour MP just got caught noncing today.

If the people of Greenland want their territory to join America, we should accept them!

@JasonGreen464 @riri65835822 @NellTho55693669 @elonmusk Watch the documentary about alexander McCartney, pakistani grooming gangs are awful and the police need to crack down, but the bigger issue is online grooming. Dont deflect the issue by saying it cant be me because im not pakistani....

@dbound66 @riri65835822 @NellTho55693669 @elonmusk Look in the mirror butterfly man. You just don't say stuff like this if you're a good person.

@JasonGreen464 @riri65835822 @NellTho55693669 @elonmusk What im saying is, you're more likely to be a child groomer or pedophile than a Pakistani man. 86% of pedophiles are white

@dbound66 @riri65835822 @NellTho55693669 @elonmusk Ah yes massive scandal with Pakistani men brutally raping underage girls which was hushed up by the authorities and ignored by the Pakistani community and here you are defending it with whataboutisms.

@JasonGreen464 @riri65835822 @NellTho55693669 @elonmusk 86% of paedophiles are white, so the fact you're not Pakistani means you're a greater risk

@riri65835822 @NellTho55693669 @elonmusk Do i? Well i am not Pakinstani.

@nataleejayne73 @JohnMappin @BethElliott @elonmusk The sound of silence.....

@JohnMappin @BethElliott @elonmusk Absolutely agree we can’t endure another 4 plus years of this. I dread to think what our country is going to be like. It frightens me to death.

@jrade762 @emmie_rylan @oldishbird1 @PolitlcsUK Tell that to train drivers....

@emmie_rylan @oldishbird1 @PolitlcsUK POWER IS TOP DOWN YOU STUPID LITTLE LEFTIST.

🚨 NEW: Elon Musk calls for Tommy Robinson to be released in a series of overnight X posts; where he also criticised Keir Starmer and called for a new election Musk also posted that ‘only Reform can save Britain’

@diamondgeezer Anyone know if there are still some September maps available anywhere?

The new tube map with six coloured Overground lines is now out (and says September 2024 on the cover, because that’s how late this rebrand is)

@dvernalls @mark395625 @crepycidon For the railways the fare structure needs massive overhaul. Commitment to HS2 in full and northern powerhouse from Liverpool to hull.

@mark395625 @dbound66 @crepycidon They haven't got to acheive it all now but given the size of the task they need to at least start, and a key part of that is being clear they understand the problem - and I'd say within 12 months they need to have proposals beyond just nationalisation which in itself isn't enough

I give up.... six posters up for two weeks now advising of a Saturday service on 23rd and 24th, and the rest of the Christmas and New Year period yet people still come down for the normal weekday times.

@dvernalls @crepycidon @mark395625 Maybe GWR should have recruited more staff rather than give money to their shareholders then

@dbound66 @crepycidon @mark395625 At the moment we really don't - every week GWR are telling people they can't say what trains are running on a Sunday and not to travel unless essential. That means going away for a weekend anywhere across a vast area of the country isn't viable so people are looking elsewhere.

@dvernalls @crepycidon @mark395625 And HS2 needs to be built in full with an 11 platform London Euston

@dbound66 @crepycidon @mark395625 However its solved (which won't be quick) it needs sorting so we have a 7 day a week railway otherwise everyone (govt, TOC's and Unions) needs to recognise we won't have a railway. Passengers will fall away and with them the political pressure to maintain it.
