I know there is a lot of news around but can someone at the Beeb explain to me how a man they keep telling us might be the next PM getting an undisclosed donation of FIVE MILLION POUNDS from a Thai based crypto dealer (with a BS explanation about it being for lifelong security) is not even a news story when the man he wants to replace led the news for days over some glasses and Arsenal tickets?

@tfwrail 1933 from Euston to Crewe late arriving and the 2121 to Chester allowed to depart RT, missing the connection by minutes. Chester and North Wales coast passengers stuck here for nearly an hour now. Could the connection not have been held for just a few minutes?

@AmazonUK Delivers failed over last two days. Account has instructions and W3W information on there. What more can I do?

@tfwrail Morning, this is a photo of the information screen on the Wrexham bound platform at Penyffordd at 0755 this morning. It shows the next two trains as just ‘delayed’. The 0800 to Wrexham was only 2 minutes late. Could it not show ‘expected 0802’ instead?

@BruceLyricsNL 186 since 1985.

How many times did you see Bruce live???

Graham Thorpe, one of England’s greatest batters, has died. “The cricket world is in mourning today,” said the ECB in a statement.

@tfwrail Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.

@laurenceball The control team have agreed the hold the 11:55 at Chester for your service Laurie. ^Gwen

@tfwrail Good morning, at Shotton waiting for the 1137 to Chester with a connection to Crewe at 1155. The 1137 looks to be about 8 minutes late. Could the Crewe connection be held please, particularly as the next train from Chester to Crewe is cancelled? Thank you.

Jacob Rees-Mogg claims that nobody cares about #partygate anymore. The BBC say the documentary only makes people angry. The truth is it shows everyone what lying assholes the Conservatives are. So do you care? Feel free to RT to show that you do.

Jeremy Hunt "I don’t think people at home are remotely interested in personal tax affairs." Hunt is commenting about his own and Rishi Sunak's tax dodging. I call him a Lying **** If you are interested RT.

Some of us 🤡 have only been saying this for 3 yrs (we saw it from Day 1 when it killed off UK fresh food imports to 🇪🇺) but turns out "taking back control of borders" leads to empty shelves and higher prices Who knew ? (UK media certainly didn't, but at last waking up now)👇

So I have been having a little look at the people who run some of the Welsh anti-20mph Facebook groups. It seems that many of them a run by Tory politicians.... who live in England....and support 20mph where they live.... Let's go on a journey (at a very safe speed). [Thread]

@bens2477 Penyffordd to Chester (Northgate). Regular service from Wrexham until September 1968. Should be a really straightforward journey between the two but connections at Shotton often not good and bus service is non existent.

If you could bring back 1 service that used to exist from your local station but doesn't now, what would it be? For me it'd probably be the Poole stopping services

@Lingzi_W 4 for me

@tfwrail Thank you. A member of staff has just come across and explained.

@laurenceball Hi Laurie. This service is currently delayed due to a tree being on the railway. Attempts to source bus replacements are underway. I'm sorry for the delay and the inconvenience. ^Joe

@tfwrail Any idea what is going on at Wrexham General please? The 1502 to Chester ( and Holyhead) was shown to arrive at 1528 but has just disappeared off the screens. Lots of people waiting with no information.

@tfwrail Thank you for this. Any idea when the train service for next week will be available please? As it stands there are no trains advertised on the line from Monday - Friday next week, which is only 7 days away.

@laurenceball Hi Laurie, The Wrexham -Bidston services are being added to the timetable under short term planning and will be updated to journey planners in due course ^Ned

@tfwrail Looking at journey planners for week commencing Monday 28th August, no trains are shown to run between Wrexham & Bidston. I can’t see any planned engineering work. Any idea why this is please?

@tfwrail Thank you!

@laurenceball Hi Laurie, I can certainly pass this over to our planning team to provide more information on this for you, thanks ^Meg
