@mongolderbylive It's Sam Edney, not Sarah

@LouisvanWyk @thefutureisrail @SJPONeill It's the same problem with cycling - money spent on recreational routes, but not on helping ordinary people get from A to B safely

@SJPONeill @thefutureisrail I took the Northern Explorer to Wellington twice last year but would’ve done so more often if the schedule was better and the price aimed at regular passengers not tourists.

National Park's allure is eternal. You can be sure it will be on a rail cruise. But independent travellers/trampers/cyclists take trains too! Many people don't want to be herded around. Sign to #SaveOurTrains & return transport options to people across NZ allrailways.co.nz/petition.html

@thefutureisrail many have fond memories of being dropped off by the train in Arthur's pass for a spot of hunting, then back on the train for a warm cup of tea to go home. Halcyon days

@thefutureisrail It is something so normal in so many countries! #MeanwhileinNZ a once-in-a-generation amount of money to transform #Rangiora town centre is being spent on a carpark. Shame on you @waimakariridc

Being able to take your bike to the train station & take the train long distances would be so fantastic (and liberating), wouldn't it?

@nz_voter Well that's shit

In London, the deputy mayor says driving will soon be socially unacceptable. In Paris, the aim is to create a 15min city, where all journeys can be done in 15min on foot or by bike. #meanwhileinnz Rangiora is building... More parking 🤦@waimakariridc theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@MarcFennell @V_and_A Isn't it?! Bought around 2016 I think. I nearly died laughing when I saw it (and bought immediately)

@roisinscribbles @V_and_A Omg that’s actually wild

I can't help but think how wonderfully appropriate it is for someone to chant "arse, arse, arse" in Rod Liddle's general direction 😂🤣 thank you for this most excellent entertainment @LuckhurstDot @durhamSU #arse dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

@DawgBelly Fair enough! And no

@DawgBelly I sort of like it, but those bloody candles are so ubiquitous

The 10 Best Books of 2021 or, the worthiest and least appealing book list I've ever stumbled across 🙄#recommendedreading nyti.ms/3d1XFkb

"The art of surviving is just that. It’s an art" does awarding risky climbs encourage climbers to take risks? #pioletdor #alpine #alpinism #mountains #mountaineering nyti.ms/2ZxloFA

@DawgBelly 😱

@mdbell79 Thanks for the tip - will hunt it out

He looks like a soccer player #justsaying

@GylesB1 @BBCMorningLive Omg - those SAUCERS

Trawling through the albums for pics to show ⁦@BBCMorningLive⁩ when I pop up on the show this morning at 9.00 am. They wanted something from the 1960s which this is - but it’s not the one they’re after. I’ll be talking about my book, “Odd Boy Out” - set in the 50s & 60s …
