Also, you need to provide more info when this happens. Appreciate there was a vulnerable person involved, but tell us more. Sitting with no updates is incredibly frustrating - worse for your staff, left fielding hundreds of questions from passengers. Treat them better too.

@DavidHorne @LNER Last night was an absolute mess, but just wanted to say a big thank you to all your staff who went above & beyond - especially Lisa on the 20:03, who was fabulous. Very disappointing to see train staff at Doncaster left stranded too with no help from management.

“A surreal, sinister exploration of 1950s suburbia, where perfect smiles and pastel facades crumble to reveal a chilling undercurrent of conformity and repression” - Read my latest on this incredible, boundary breaking piece of theatre. https://t.co/EVFvrAyn37

Read my latest for @EveryTheatre on a recent revival of Simon Stephen’s Sea Wall. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#Review: Sea Wall @ORLTheatre ★★★★

"Revived with piercing simplicity, Sea Wall is a heart-stopping meditation on love, loss, and the tides that drag us under."

@CrossCountryUK what’s happening with the 12:54 from Peterborough to Birmingham New Street? Conflicting information about delays at the station.

If NE local rail was more frequent, integrated & maybe rebranded, it’d appeal to more of us.

In the meantime the Northumberland Line may help raise the profile of the current offer.
A combined Metro & Local Rail map could too & promote multimodal travel.
Here’s my interpretation

Pleased to have attended the Global Soft Power Summit 2024 today. Brilliant discussions led by John Major and Alastair Campbell, among others, with a spotlight on the #GREATcampaign. Soft power in action – fostering dialogue, understanding, and global collaboration.

@GWRHelp Is the 16:35 from Paddington now running as the 17:01 from Reading? It’s showing as ‘cancelled’ at Paddington but ‘delayed’ at Reading?

[Jake Watson @JMichaelWatson]

@GWRHelp is the 18:35 to Plymouth likely to be cancelled today??

[Jake Watson @JMichaelWatson]

Finally succumbed to the Humble Crumble hype and it did not disappoint.

The most wonderful lunch of Hereford bavette with chasseur sauce at @QualityChop today. Of course, paired with their famous confit potatoes and a little French Cabernet Sauvignon. Highly recommend! #GreatBritishFood

@HighBanana @LNER Wahoo! Safe travels.

[Jake Watson @JMichaelWatson]

@LNER can you confirm whether a train has now left Grantham for Kings Cross?

[Jake Watson @JMichaelWatson]

[Jake Watson @JMichaelWatson]

@marajoyloves @LNER Thank you Mara! Reassuring that something is happening.
