[George The Stourbridge Junction Station Cat @TheStourbridge]

Listen closely… can you hear?
The softest engine purring here.

Not a train upon the track,
Just meownself in full relax.

A rumble low, a happy tune,
Powered entirely by snack fuel soon.

If peace had sound, it would be this…
A purring cat in perfect bliss

Derby..even worse crowding with aisles full of folk standing. Not pleasant.

[Joanne smith @Lucretiajojo]

@CrossCountryUK just had announcer apologise for overcrowding on the 753 from Sheffield. Catering also refers to busyness of service.This overcrowding is every day, why do you only put 4 carriages on this route? People are having to stand as usual.

@SheffCouncil please can you grit the walk down to the train station, it’s really dangerous, ditto side roads around banner cross. Thank you!
