@timcotramwil First Christmas related marketing received this year on 25th June. August Bank Holiday is the first day of Advent in our modern secular calendar.

@Jane45665825 Of course: 'Conveniently located for access to local facilities and the national transport network'.

@SimonCalder Cambridge station would probably been even further out if the Eastern Counties Railway had realised that by crossing the borough boundary they made themselves liable for the 'Cambridge Improvement' toll.

@timcotramwil It's the new National Emergency Toilet Service (NETS). Ring the emergency number from anywhere in the UK and you're guaranteed a toilet within 10 minutes.

@Greens4HS2 Not with most of it in cuttings and tunnels - arguably the most boring train journey in the World.

[David Bard @CllrBard]

@Greens4HS2 @TheGreenParty @AdamWJT Indeed. Take the proposed Sawston station on the Liverpool St main line. Promised in January 1845 - still waiting.

@AnthonyBrowneMP STEM subjects and the humanities should not be regarded as mutually exclusive and in opposition. I recall being often impressed by the breadth of knowledge across disciplines outside their specialism of European scientists compared with their Brirish counterparts.

@bo66ie29 The cost of bespoke tailoring.

[David Bard @CllrBard]

@macthetree @JeremyDBarrell Yes, look at all the pathetic little twigs in the background that didn't even make it that far.

@DanielPhilips1 @Greens4HS2 Average peak hour loading per train ~250 passengers. So 10,000 passengers = 40 trains per hour or 20 in each direction assuming passenger flows equal. One train every 3 minutes in both directions? Main point taken, but don't overstate your case.

@BenHattonJourno How childish.

[David Bard @CllrBard]

@sf_lang He lasted quite a bit longer.

@daveguitarjones Yes, the band does seem to have been going since the Mid-Cretaceous.

[David Bard @CllrBard]

@profmarkcollard Bizarre.

@petemorristwit You have to be Outer Party to get British Gin and Inner Party to get wine.

@DoctorLeeds @drkeithsiau Or the patient is very small.

@LizWebsterSBF The Beeching Report was published in 1963, most of the subsequent closures were carried out under the Wilson (Labour) Government, elected Oct. 1964.

@Radegund Whilst claiming that they are too pressured to deal with 'low-level' crime such as shoplifting and burglary.

@daveguitarjones Or buy a pie (served with a delicious dressing of Soylent Green?)

@Chisholm4Trail Every French city with a population of over 150,000 has a light rail system. Cambridge had a 2021 population of 145,700.A major problem is the excesive cost of infrastructure in the UK as opposed to the rest of Europe. https://t.co/uW8thRDE8f
