Hello ⁦@northernassist⁩ We’re used to late trains. Here’s the one we got to Ilkley to catch and it left 2 minutes early ☹️. Watch it going into distance. Wednesday 11th 1823 to Bradford!
Who supervises ? Next one 1851 !

It was great to join fellow #BackYouthAlliance organisations at yesterday’s ‘Meet the Sector’ drop-in at Parliament.

We engaged with MPs about our shared advocacy for young people, the power of youth voice in decision-making, and the vital role of volunteers and youth workers.

Wonderful initiative here for two youth co-options into governance of @yorkshire_dales Youth Voice

Thank you, and swiftly done. Appreciated. Respect.

@DerekTwine Due to the service disruptions and cancellations I have refunded 50% of the ticket cost. As the taxi cost was more than the amount being refunded, I'd advise you to contact the operator requesting compensation for the difference. ~Mary

[DerekTwine @DerekTwine]

@thetrainline Buyers beware. Outward train this morning cancelled, so needed to spend £16 on taxi to meet deadline. Return train running OK. Now find that small-print in T&C says if return section of ticket is used then not eligible for refund on cancelled outward. What cop-out.

[Scouts @scouts]

Great to see that our Joint President, the Princess of Wales' post welcoming our new Chief Scout, is making headlines. We're always grateful for her support!
