Get out of my fabulous fucking way. Always standing just to the right of @TheGhettoDandy

@CrossCountryUK Why is there no catering on the 15:26 from Coventry to Bournemouth? I paid extra for first class and you can’t even offer me a bottle of water. This is an outrageous way to treat customers. You’re such an awful company to travel with. So fed up with your service.

@TheLeylandSoc Its 1957 Duple Britannia bodied Leyland Tiger Cub JEE123. There’s a photo on Flickr from 1973 when it’s in slightly better condition. I do hate an unanswered question. That took me all morning.

WCK’s Melissa is on Union Island where Hurricane Beryl left widespread devastation. Our team reached communities here via helicopter to assess food and water needs. As we always do when we scout, we provided sandwiches to offer immediate relief and will return with more meals tomorrow. #ChefsForTheCaribbean

"We're on the way, in a basket to hell, if we don't address this."

As a Category 5 storm - the earliest ever recorded in the region - sweeps through the Caribbean, the prime minister of hurricane hit St Vincent and the Grenadines says the West must act now.

[World Central Kitchen @WCKitchen]

Hurricane Beryl update: WCK’s Kyle is in St. Vincent where we are preparing hundreds of sandwiches to provide immediate relief as we assess needs in the islands hit hardest by the storm. Kyle also supported our relief efforts in St. Vincent in 2021 response after the La Soufrière volcano displaced 20,000 people. #ChefsForSVG

This thread will provide updates re: mobilization of global relief efforts in the wake of #HurricaneBeryl, with organizations from both the private and public sector. Special attention will be given to Carriacou, Petite Martinique, Barbados and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. 🧵

Four cancelled deliveries in the last 3 months but @tesco customer service just couldn’t care less. Suck it up buttercup whilst we rake in billions. Absolutely disgusting service and I’m furious enough to walk, club card points be damned.

I love pride month on this skip fire of a platform…

[The Colonel @ACursedCommuter]

@CrossCountryUK You should probably have mothballed the voyagers and kept the HSTs then. I know it’s not your fault, and you need not reply, but your company deserves the awful reputation that proceeds it. I dread using your services EVERY time but have no other choice.

[The Colonel @ACursedCommuter]

@CrossCountryUK How many carriages will form the 15:55 Southampton Airport Parkway to New Street service and with all the cancellations are reservations being honoured please?

[The Colonel @ACursedCommuter]

@CrossCountryUK Thank you. With the three preceding trains being cancelled, and anticipating utter chaos at Parkway, why is the train only four cars when you have five car sets available?

[The Colonel @ACursedCommuter]

Perhaps @AvantiWestCoast should start charging a 50% deposit for a ruddy ticket and only charging the full amount if by some ruddy miracle the train turns up. Would save us all claiming compensation every ruddy journey. #shambles

[The Colonel @ACursedCommuter]

If the train to form the 18:40 EUS to WVH didn’t arrive until 19:10, why the hell was it showing as on time until gone 18:30. Delays are sometimes unavoidable. Lying is unacceptable. Every time it’s the same shambolic, non-existent customer service from @AvantiWestCoast

100 years of Flying Scotsman and still going… seen here on it’s visit to the @Watercress_Line in February 2020, and passing #Egham and #Winchester in May and June 2021 on rail tours. #LNERA3 #GresleyA3Pacific #FlyingScotsman #FlyingScotsman100 @RailwayMuseum

@Dolly_Darren 🤣

[The Colonel @ACursedCommuter]

I take it @AvantiWestCoast staff are that fed up of apologising for their abysmal service they don’t even ruddy bother anymore. 20 odd mins late for the second time today and we get nothing more than a cheery welcome onboard, fancy upgrading to premium.

[The Colonel @ACursedCommuter]

@handeone Oh happy birthday gorgeous girly. 🐾🐾🐾

[The Colonel @ACursedCommuter]

Oh absolute bedknobberation. The beautiful briny sea will never be the same again.
