Sadly the new DG has no background in broadcasting..like arriving in a foreign country without being able to speak the language…the layers of managers will try to please him and have offered no intelligent direction for years…and L Nandy doesn’t seem to get what’s going wrong:

The composer George Fenton has died at the age of 76.

His music included Blue Planet, Planet Earth and multiple movies - Baftas + Emmys and received five Oscar nominations.

He composed BBC TV news theme tunes including the memorable Newsnight music.

@Baghdaddi @PickGS They axed Inside Out with a claim a new multi-regional current affairs prog would be better- it failed after one year -itself axed and then never replaced - When audiences decline because of watering down local/regional appeal they then justify axing it. Deliberate ploy!

We’re proud to share the launch of the Lumo and Hull Trains Social Mobility Impact Report 2026, in partnership with the Purpose Coalition.

The report highlights how rail can be much more than a way of getting from A to B, exploring the role that Open Access rail can play in connecting communities and supporting social mobility across the @LumoTravel and Hull Trains routes.

Watch highlights from our report launch!

Great fun to have gathered these user-generated clips for @LumoTravel and @Hull_Trains into a video celebrating the great partnerships they have. Fun, irreverent and sometimes cheeky- just the way we like it!

[Lumo @LumoTravel]

What have Lumo and Hull Trains ever done for us?

We’ve partnered with some incredible people, businesses and charities across the communities we serve, and we’re incredibly proud of what we've built along the way.

For us, it’s about more than getting people from A to B. Hear from some of the brilliant people and organisations we’re lucky enough to work with and see just what Lumo @hull_trains have done for them.

@KingmakerScribe What a great memory you have!!!!

[Chris Jackson 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 @InsideOutCJ]

John was a local legend- I Worked at Swansea Sound from 1984-6. Sometimes after a breakfast shift I’d lounge away the afternoon on a sun drenched Gower beach then pop to John’d and bother him for a cup of tea.

[Andrew J Langstone @KingmakerScribe]

Hello Derek. Just saw the news about John (the weather) Powell's passing. Very sad. He was a part of our family holidays in SW Wales and thereafter when I studied in #swansea. A natural for radio and someone who knew his subject. A sad day. @DerekTheWeather

[Count Binface @CountBinface]
