@abzpaul Haha, I also just forget. I'm more active on Instagram these days.

Finally managed to get onboard one of the new @CrossCountryUK refurbed Turbostar, unfortunately it was so busy, I didn't get to try the seats, the WiFi didn't work and judging by the temperature neither was the air con. However, the ticket inspector was actually checking today 👍

@abzpaul Haha, no, just not had anything exciting to tweet/X about 😂

@simone_chellini @airwaysmagazine I flew it from CDG-FCO last year, it's a fantastic way to travel short haul!

@SPD_travels As a regular flyer into MAN, I can confirm, the data is correct, it's the worst place we fly into/out of, for delays.

@peteirishpilot Cavok at Gatwick? Very unusual 😂

[Nick Cole @Pilot_Nick]

@CrossCountryUK Unfortunately the next two services don't leave me enough time to get my flight being as they're only once an hour, so I'm having to pay for a taxi. I trust I can claim my ticket costs back for the train?

[Nick Cole @Pilot_Nick]

@CrossCountryUK why is the 11:36 from Narborough cancelled? I'm now having to shell out for a taxi to make my connection in Leicester.

@NeelimaPavan4 @British_Airways British Airways don't fly to Durham Airport....

[Nick Cole @Pilot_Nick]

@EastMidRailway Ok thanks, very much appreciated. I can run if it helps with holding the 23:20 😂🤞

[Nick Cole @Pilot_Nick]

@EastMidRailway I'm on the delayed service from Manchester, I've missed the 21:45 connection I was meant to be getting in Sheffield to Leicester, I'm now continuing to Nottingham but if we're much more delayed, I'll miss the 23:20 to Leicester, can this be held if need be?

@siliconglen @coopuk Clearly not a thought spared for the staff who often spend 8+ hours a day in the store. The music and "Coop Radio" is a nice thing for them to have while on shift.

@ASobester @SeanM1997 Sadly it'll be a Jetstream 32, not a private jet 😂

[Nick Cole @Pilot_Nick]

@CallumGreenINV @LumoTravel It'll be strange seeing them North of the border after they've spent their life around my home town in the East Midlands.

[Nick Cole @Pilot_Nick]

@RAIL They did look fairly battered, parked up next to a ScotRail HST at Queen Street a few weeks ago. Definitely could do with some TLC

[Nick Cole @Pilot_Nick]

A nice afternoon for a trip home to #Aberdeen on one of these old machines! Can't beat a good old #HST Always reminds me of being a kid watching them pull out of Leicester Railway station waiting for my Mum to finish work. @ScotRail

@PiddlyStations Oh nice! I bet that was fun!

[Nick Cole @Pilot_Nick]

@PiddlyStations Ah I did that as a MAN-GVA on the 789 when they first started it. It wasn't as cheap as I'd hopped, but it was a great flight. Only 2 of us actually got off in GVA.

[Nick Cole @Pilot_Nick]

@PiddlyStations Haha, yeah it's got to be done!
