We have an apprenticeship here @BBCSheffield which we are looking for people to apply for. So if you are interested in working for the BBC take a look.

This is a downgrade as you could buy them closer to departure before.

Now, people will need to plan exactly which train they're getting further in advance to get the best deal.

If you drive, it's the same cost if you leave now or in 15 minutes.

The mind boggles!

Burnham just said I’ve heard you’re using fax machines to organise yourselves. This is absolutely true, confirms Northern. !

🧵(1) Imagine, you're a working class actor from Wigan, you pay for your flat by working at a coffee shop because it's the only job that will allow you time off for auditions. Every month you pay for classes, workshops and casting sites, and the call comes in, London, tomorrow.

A "fun" little detail on this hourly diesel train connecting four major cities is that it can't be any longer. We skimped on investment on stations along the route, cancelled big intercity investments that would have released capacity, so that's it. https://t.co/BqOsxYv6l9

Too often, rail companies make passengers feel like criminals for simple mistakes.

Something needs to change. My piece for @TheBoltonNews

Whenever I have to buy olive oil, I am shocked by how much it's gone up in price since the last time I bought it.

Didn't know if I just had false memories of how cheap it used to be, so looked at official inflation data and the price has doubled in the past two years.

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

NEW: we don’t reflect enough on how severe the housing crisis is, and how it has completely broken the promise society made to young adults.

The situation is especially severe in the UK, where the last time house prices were this unaffordable was in ... 1876.

@tokyojojo I must admit I'm very out of the loop on them!

So many neat data presentations on @OnTimeTrains. Here's the best 15 busy stations for train performance. Chelmsford top. And the worst. Manchester Oxford Road bottom.

@joshspero Big fan of this change! I'd be encouraged to pop by more. It forever frustrated me that when I was a Tate Member I couldn't enjoy it after work as it opened 9-5. I live in Sheffield now and I hope local arts institutions do similar.

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

Another day in the insanity that is the modern 🇬🇧 housing/rental market. News Agents’ colleague looking for a one bedroom flat in London- not only are the prices reliably around the £2k per month mark but such is the demand agents are demanding huge deposits without viewings.

[Jacob Millen-Bamford @Jacob_M_B]

Really interesting thread about the changes of how local media makes money and why a lot of sites are 95% ads

[Joshi Herrmann @joshi]

Flying back from holiday in Romania I just read the eye-opening, at times brutal new @EndersAnalysis report about "the perfect storm engulfing local media". It's a brilliant, constructive analysis of "the single most important media in any well-functioning democracy". Threddd 🧵
