@EdinburghTrams thanks for leaving 2 minutes early. Great help. There’s a whole Thomas the Tank Engine episode about why you’re meant to follow the timetable.

[Ben Seager-Scott @BenSeagerScott]

@TLRailUK Grand, thank you.

Hi @TLRailUK - sorry for the simple question but I couldn’t find the answer on the website. Can I use contactless to get from St Albans to Brighton?

[Ben Seager-Scott @BenSeagerScott]

@CalSleeper disappointing start for what is usually a better service - told guest lounge closed and no speedy boarding at Euston. Staffing problems?

[Ben Seager-Scott @BenSeagerScott]

Not the US payroll numbers the market was hoping for and clear now why the Fed are focussing much more on their dual mandate!

Looks like Jan and Feb weren't anomalous CPI prints, as the March reading has also come in ahead of expectations. Looks like a last-mile problem getting from a 3 handle to 2 handle on inflation.

@getnanit how can I a replacement prong for the travel stand, please? One has fallen out.

[Ben Seager-Scott @BenSeagerScott]

@TLRailUK I bought a flexi season ticket last week, but it won’t upload to my keycard - I wrote to your customer service but they indicate not to expect a response for 10 working days- which is half the life of the ticket. What do you suggest?

[Ben Seager-Scott @BenSeagerScott]

@TLRailUK So to clarify, you couldn’t run your service and charge me an admin fee to process the refund - so I don’t get any money back and you’ve wiped out my discount? Seems fair.

[Ben Seager-Scott @BenSeagerScott]

@TLRailUK Hi @TLRailUK - I did “postpone my plans” like you told me too on the last day of my Flex season ticket and paid to travel the next day instead. Now you won’t refund me for doing what you said? Not impressed. How do I appeal this?

[Ben Seager-Scott @BenSeagerScott]

Hi @getnanit - I’m not familiar with this holiday… (but do need my Nanit fixing)

@StAlbansCath Loving Rev Calum’s interactive sermon! Great work 💛

Lots of activity over the w/e around #SVB collapse. One to continuing watching closely, but current indications are it was an exposed outlier, contagion risks low given government and central bank interventions. But don't assume the Fed will pause/pivot.
