@CrossCountryUK this is disgraceful standing across the train tonight on the 18:03 from Birmingham. Only 4 coaches! Standing in First Class! I was 20 mins late this am and missed my connection to Milton Keynes and was 1 hour late getting there. Got to do better!
More than 2,000 people were buried alive in the landslide that smothered a Papua New Guinea village and work camp on Friday in the country’s remote northern highlands, the authorities told the United Nations on Monday. https://t.co/hmQXYP2kuw

I know this is geeky even by my standards, but indulge me.
I present a comparison of ride quality - one video was taken at 125mph on the ECML and the other at 186mph on a purpose-built high speed line in France. Like all sophisticated folk, I use the medium of wine.
Go figure.
The @unibirmingham, working with @JacobsConnects, has a really interesting PhD opportunity in coastal landslide complexes and climate change, supervised by my former PhD student Dr Jon Carey: https://t.co/PivQWfZ5aY

@northernassist can I just thank the fantastic conductor on the 22:18 train from Sheffield tonight. After being hugely delayed by @LNER & having to take an alternative route he helped me to get back to my car in Shipley by speaking to LNER & getting a taxi booked. Absolute ⭐️

How convenient it is to tag hills as vulnerable & shift responsibility from governments & administration. Officials ask for bribes & allow construction of multi-storey buildings. That's the truth. It's called systemic weakening of mountains, not vulnerability.
