Trying my best

@EastMidRailway do we really need the heating on today? I'm on the 9:04 from Leicester to London and my legs are warming nicely!

[Rod @IronRods]

@CrossCountryUK any news on the 8:21 from Oakham to New Street? The delay keeps extending, minute by minute

[Rod @IronRods]

@EastMidRailway Unsurprisingly it has just been cancelled, less than three hours before departure. I refuse to believe that there wasn't at least one person in EMR who would have known this when I asked yesterday!

[Rod @IronRods]

@EastMidRailway I'm booked onto the 8:27 from Oakham to London which is now cancelled. What other routes is my ticket valid on? Thanks

[Rod @IronRods]

@EastMidRailway Thanks for the reply. I understand this is usually the case for unexpected issues, but clearly this is something that has been on-going as it has been the same train every day for the same reason. "too many trains needing repair".

[Rod @IronRods]

@EastMidRailway Hello again, this train has been cancelled every day this week. Please can you confirm if you expect this to be running tomorrow before i book a ticket. Thank you.

[Rod @IronRods]

@CrossCountryUK is the 17:13 from Leicester to Stansted Airport running?

[Rod @IronRods]

@CrossCountryUK Thanks for the update

[Rod @IronRods]

@CrossCountryUK any news on the delayed 17:54 from Pbo to Birmingham?

[Rod @IronRods]

@CrossCountryUK Great, thanks for the response

[Rod @IronRods]

@CrossCountryUK any idea when they'll be an update on the 4:22 Birmingham to stansted?

[Rod @IronRods]

@gigaclear for the second evening in a row the speed has fallen to 30 Mbps. We're in Oakham in Rutland. Is there something wrong? It was over 300 earlier today.

[Rod @IronRods]

@CrossCountryUK Thanks. It would have been good for this info to have been shared sooner as clearly you knew about this when replying to the older tweet...

[Rod @IronRods]

@CrossCountryUK Any update on this? Trainline says the train is only 5 mins late into Peterborough, but the eta keeps moving back?

BREAKING: The father of the 11-year-old boy who was killed in a car crash caused by a Haitian immigrant rips Donald Trump and J.D. Vance as "morally bankrupt politicians" for exploiting his son's death.

This is not at all what MAGA expected...

"Using Aiden as a political tool is, to say the least, reprehensible for any political purpose," said Nathan Clark of Springfield, Ohio during a speech to the City Commission.

"This needs to stop now. I will listen to them one more time to hear their apologies," he added.

Clark lost his son last year when a minivan collided with his school bus. MAGA has seized on the tragic incident to push their culture war against immigrants.

Vance in particular has been using the death to smear Haitians. He went so far as to assert that the child was "murdered" when in reality it was a tragic accident.

"My son Aiden Clark was not murdered," said Clark. "He was accidentally killed by an immigrant from Haiti. This tragedy is felt all over this community, the state and even the nation, but don’t spend this towards hate. In order to live like Aiden, you need to accept everyone."

He singled out Trump, Vance, Republican Senate nominee Bernie Moreno, and Congressman Chip Roy of Texas for their disgusting behavior.

"They have spoken my son’s name and used his death for political gain," said Clark.

“They can vomit all the hate they want about illegal immigrants, the border crisis and even untrue claims about fluffy pets being ravaged and eaten by community members," he added. "However, they are not allowed, nor have they ever been allowed, to mention Aiden Clark from Springfield, Ohio."
