@MrTimDunn @NetworkRailLBG We need an Apple Watch version of this ASAP!!!

@AvantiWestCoast Ah @AvantiWestCoast, there is no debate. EVERY biscuit in the biscuit tin is the best biscuit to dunk. And the last biscuit is the best to dunk if you don’t have any left. The only bad biscuit to dunk is the missing biscuit…

Morning all, Mike and Pete here 👏 With it getting colder, we've been discussing what's the best biscuit to dunk in a cuppa☕️ Reply with your favourite and we'll rate it🍪

@citytransportin @Captain_Deltic Possibly a person walking in front, with a red flag?

@Captain_Deltic driverless road vehicles should carry warning signs!

Make a note. "As soon as next year".

@trainfanmatt It’s not a “proper” Class 82; it’s just a fancy DVT 😆

Well, what do you do when lacking a railtour on a Saturday? Create your own loco bash 😁 68015 is the steed along with Class 82 82304 for a run between the Midlands and London

Out and about today with @swlscouts!

@every_station Was so tempted to visit again! My other half has family roots in Imber, and we’ve been in the past.

Today was a rather fantastic day on the Imber Bus! Totally recommend a visit if you get the chance next year!

Great to see @swlscouts today at @DockMuseum telling people about all the great things that @CumbriaScouts get up to!

@northernassist Not a service (ie train); it’s what it says in the post: It is the accessible toilet AT MANCHESTER OXFORD ROAD station. A station that Northern manage. Surely it was clear from my original tweet? It literally said that location, word for word…

@tidaljunk Hi Matt, what service is this please, ill get it reported or at the very least supply a Sharpie pen 😀 ^DI

Hello @northernassist! Just loving the feedback QR code in the accessible toilet at Manchester Oxford Road 🤣🤣 And no, this isn’t photoshopped or edited.

@northernassist It’s 1Y94, the 08:48 Barrow -> Manchester on 20/5/2025. This incident occurred at Lancaster. The chair user was, fortunately, able to hobble to a seat (parking in that position is not safe to travel in chair). Your guard seems to need a reminder on safe travel for wheelchairs.

@tidaljunk Hi Matt, I'm sorry for this. We always advise luggage has to be moved to accomodate for wheelchairs. Can you advise which service this is on please and has everyone been able to board? ^LN

Good morning @northernassist, Your guard seems to think that this is an acceptable way to cram luggage around a wheelchair. Luggage was on first, and guard was extremely reluctant to get people to move for the chair (it’s not mine; my power chair is out of shot to the right).

@GJMarshy It’s purposefully like this. #YorkshireForYorkies 🤣🤣

Short of building a new Motorway (which would become full upon opening and create additional road congestion either side) What do you do? Build a new/upgraded high-capacity railway. Faster, more frequent, reliable. Roads aren’t the problem, lack of alternatives are!

@northernassist @Guard_Amos That is Birkrigg Common and, at the right on the shoreline, the Bay Horse pub, looking over the Ulverston estuary from the Furness Line. I mean, when it’s @GuardAmos, it’s fairly likely it’s the NW, but this is my home turf.

A photo sent in by one of our conductors on his morning route. 🏖️🚆 Can anyone guess where this photo was taken? 👇 #NorthernTrains #GoDoYourThing 📷 @Guard_Amos

@AvantiWestCoast @NetworkRailBHM I spoke to the Train Manager when I first saw them (or indeed any staff after leaving New Street); shortly after we left Preston. By which time we were approaching Lancaster. Fortunately my bladder held. Not all people would be so lucky.

Sorry to hear that, Matt. I can see that Disabled toilets at the rear of this set were confirmed as unavailable from logs yesterday, I can only apologise for the inconvenience caused. I can feed this back internally. Have you spoke with the Train Manager at all? If you'd like to raise this experience further, you can submit a complaint form here railhelp.co.uk/avantiwestcoas… - Sam

Hello @AvantiWestCoast, hope you are well? I’m on the Birmingham New Street (16:05) to Lancaster (18:06). When @NetworkRailBHM put me on the train, they didn’t know accessible toilet in carriage D was out of service. As a wheelchair user, this is a bit awkward.

@AvantiWestCoast @NetworkRailBHM Yup. Due to get off at Lancaster in 17 minutes.

@tidaljunk @NetworkRailBHM Hey Matt, really sorry to hear this. Are you still in coach D? - Sam

Yesterday I travelled with @CrossCountryUK from Aberdeen to Penzance. Filthy windows aside (restricting photography), it’s a grand journey with great crew looking after first class. Boarding at Aberdeen took 20 mins while train and station staff debated who did wheelchair ramp..

Aboard the @CrossCountryUK train from Aberdeen to Penzance. Beautiful weather; amazing scenery. Unfortunately I won’t really be able to share the views as the windows on 221124 are absolutely filthy!

@LNER A2

@tidaljunk Where are you sitting, Matt?

Hello @LNER I’m a wheelchair user on your 10:28 Edinburgh -> Aberdeen service. The onboard announcer says “scan QR code to order refreshments to your seat”. But your online system says “We are not taking orders right now”… So is this a long, parched journey to Aberdeen?
