Genuine Grumpy Old Man, pure 1960s vintage.
Railways not roads.
Loathe Politicians.

@RAIL Read this and what a bloody farce procurement will likely begin next year, and the first trains will be running by 2034.

SEVEN YEARS TO PROCURE, BUILD AND TEST?

Absolute madness. No wonder nothing gets done on time or on budget in this country.

Wouldnt happen under Big 4.

@MustangMan_TX "I expect the staff to look appropriately dressed for a restaurant. I'm not saying she was doing anything wrong..."

But you are saying she's done wrong. Chill.

@crepycidon @John_The_Fitter Only the Class 802s were built in Italy. 800/801/805/807/810 at Newton Aycliffe.

Bodyshells came from Kasado, Japan.

@MattWillisRail @ChimeWhistle @transportgovuk Reflecting, I think the fact that the stop also serves the hospitals could be a sticking point.

Seems to be so many services running with insufficient capacity as we head towards GBR, and the dithering over rolling stock orders will continue.

@ChimeWhistle Shagged out units, a lack of trains, pissed off passengers and now strikes.

Welcome to the wonderful world of UK railways.

@TrumpDailyPosts Sounds like bollocks from a sore loser.

Come 2028, he'll be gone. America is finally waking up.

@1950GMJ @MichaelRosenYes It has waiting rooms and a Costa Coffee. Not that bleak.

@smc429 @bmay Pig? That's a bit mild....

@trainfanmatt @MittensOff Maybe he should change his handle to Billy NoMates?

[Charlie Papa SixSix 🚃🚄🇬🇧 @GrumpyGit1960]

@UKDispatch_ I'll offer some of my bogies.
Got no time for these gobby JSO wankers.

@jdp80 @LNRailway Standard Plus upgrades are £18, apparently. For extra padding and a leather syle anti-macassar.

Well, you know where you can stick that! I suspect this trial will be a failure.

@PritaniDan Bloody hell, your version is like Trumpton.

[Charlie Papa SixSix 🚃🚄🇬🇧 @GrumpyGit1960]

@FabrizioRomano @JamieJackson___ Meanwhile the directors and others totally escape any blame or repercusions for their decisions?

Oh, how I'd love to see them relegated....

@otisdriftwood99 @ChimeWhistle 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Must have been well plastered to mistake yellow plank for a GTR Class 700 which is white (or off white).

@BBCLeicester But no seats for pedestrians to sit on?

[Charlie Papa SixSix 🚃🚄🇬🇧 @GrumpyGit1960]

@ChrisWatsonLCFC @FosseHub @lee1978lcfc I've looked at their shirts in a sports shop and they look cheap IMO, with a coarser weave for the fabric. Bit like knickers from a pound shop.

@anon_opin Failed your Geography O level?
Sheffield is in the north.

[Charlie Papa SixSix 🚃🚄🇬🇧 @GrumpyGit1960]

@Bozenka_2023 Another blue tick wanker with no compassion for shop staff who may want a moment for their own reflections.

@CrossCountryUK The sooner Sunday is part of the working week for train crews cant come soon enough.

All this reliance on rest day working cobblers is archaic.
