@TheFyldeGuy Macclesfield finishing second is fantasy island - more like mid-table. No Mellor, no Gale...no goals

@DisBoDatBo Just because you’ve never experienced it, doesn’t mean it’s not true. Lucky you. Because the ECML completely falls apart regularly due to some farce with an Azuma.

@Captain_Deltic "Late delivery" ?? 4 years late is hardly "late" it's unacceptable. But the 810s are noisy and uncomfortable....just like the crappy Meridians they are replacing . EMR really is a shit show

EMR has finally gone public and fingered Hitachi for the Class 810 late delivery and unreliability plus unreliability of Class 222s which Hitachi also maintain. Class 810 rollout "will continue through 2026/2027. Order was placed 7 years ago

I’m hearing that Prince William has called FIFA and asked them to make Aston Villa Premier League champions. #Balogun

@mrdanwalker I think part of it is the funding model itself, people hate being told what to do and unfortunately bbc via capita use very underhand methods to collect the fee, with the bias people don’t want it anymore

I’ve had lots of messages from very worried former colleagues at the BBC. The corporation’s news operation is respected around the world but for many, this latest announcement about major cuts and job losses feels like the ‘managed decline’ of a trusted institution and a huge hit to morale. The direction of travel is one of reasons why, whenever I get asked if I miss the BBC, I say that I miss the people and I miss working with my friends. I do not miss the mess.

@puffpuff65 Given that Tupe transfers people and maintains employment, how exactly were you contracted out of a job ?

@DENAirport DIA is lucky this individual was “only” suicidal and not a terrorist wearing an explosive vest. This never should have happened at an American airport, let alone one of the busiest airports in the country. Time to bolster security around the perimeter of DIA’s runways.

We would like to thank Silkmen supporters for their patience in what has been a busy few days in the lead up to our Play-Off Eliminator against Chester. Our staff have been working around the clock to firm up every last detail to make Wednesday a success. Our Main Office will be open this evening from 5pm-8:30pm for any Silkmen supporters looking to purchase a ticket for Wednesday night's clash. Supporters will need to bring at least one of the following: - Identification of an address in the Macclesfield area - History of previous purchases from a game in the 2025/26 season Thank you for your continued support. Up the Silks💙

@EastMidRailway Thanks, the next available service ( that I am now on ) gets me too late to Birmingham for my booked train from there, so that's a new ticket cost. My original question stands- why book me a suicidally short connection ?

@DisBoDatBo Good afternoon, Martin. If you are delayed and miss your connection, please speak top station staff at Shrewsbury who can advise on the next available service. Also if you are delayed dover 15 minutes, I recommend filing for delay repay with Transport for Wales. ^EA

@EastMidRailway Good afternoon - can you explain why your system booked me such a short connection ? Inbound train to Shrewsbury was delayed so I missed the 17.30 I will now miss my onward train from Birmingham too :-(

@transport_wales Hello - people smoking on the platform at Church Stretton - is the "not smoking" even vaguely realistic when there are no staff here to enforce ?

@CrossCountryUK Hi do you have "praise" schemes ? if so, can I commend the Train Manager on the 08.07 Nottingham-Cardiff service? He joined @ Birmingham and his communication of two tricky delays has been top class. He is also very smartly dressed which makes a change for XC 🙂

@EMASNHSTrust Belated thanks to the crew who attended me on Saturday night (28th) when I was acutely ill and took me to A&E. Sadly didn't catch their names ( I was a bit "out of it" ! ) but a Beechdale crew circa 8.15pm. 10 minute response was fantastic !
