@nationalexpress Is there a way we can give feedback to somewhere please as being unable to leave Cornwall for London in the afternoon is a massive loss?

[Alex @LexiLibrary]

@nationalexpress Hello, is there a particular reason behind the massive change in timetable of 504 Penzance to London please? The loss of the 1.20pm Newquay stop specifically.

Happy Spring! A diversion due to problems on M4 means we're taking the scenic route to the South West on my @nationalexpress coach today. Very appropriate for the day after the spring equinox #windough

@AvantiWestCoast @teamenndee Thanks, Lucy. There's nothing any of us can do until it gets rescued, but accuracy of info matters. Thanks again.

[Alex @LexiLibrary]

@AvantiWestCoast @teamenndee We are being told the broken train is in front of us, which I believe. But Lockerbie is 14 miles behind us, and Carlisle 40 miles behind us. Therefore a reply saying it is between Lockerbie and Carlisle doesn't make geographical sense?

[Alex @LexiLibrary]

@AvantiWestCoast @teamenndee Hi Lucy, this is confusing news as the 8.30 Euston to Glasgow is well past Lockerbie?

@tinamreynolds Errr, honestly, I'd invest in good ear plugs 😆

Love that this chain is full of people, like me, whose only reference for this word is the song in The Water Babies 😆

Word of the day is ‘cockalorum’ (18th century): a self-important individual who struts across every stage as though they own it.

@tinamreynolds That's much too warm 😆

Good luck to all doing the @londonlegal #LondonLegalWalk this evening, especially any other legal librarians 👣

In what seems like another lifetime, I met this colleague of friends - now his sister in Palestine needs help. It could've been any of us born to that life not this one, so if you've got any spare cash do click the link to donate.

@JoCornish4 @CILIPinfo Congratulations 🥳

[Alex @LexiLibrary]

@MattHutchings10 At least there's a good news story somewhere 🙂

[Alex @LexiLibrary]

@AmrMonzir I am so sorry to hear of your devastating losses. Wishing you strength for your grief.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

The UN's aid chief describes Gaza as the worst humanitarian crisis he's experienced in 50 years.

He makes two key points which should chill you.

1) The official death toll is likely a huge underestimate

2) In these circumstances, far more tend to die of hunger and disease.
