There’s been a damp spot above the urinal at work for some time, so I’ve brightened it up.

@EastMidRailway The incident was a lack of staff telling people which queue to join which resulted in the huge amount of people at the barriers. 3 flimsy tensator barriers for thousands of people on an FA Cup semi-final day and London Marathon is just poor planning.

@EastMidRailway why has there been a jump of roughly £30 for trains from Market Harborough to St Pancras? £95 for an hours journey seems pretty steep
