@Translink_NI Question, are Bank Holidays treated like Weekdays or Weekends when using an aLink?

[Cat Rafferty @RaffertyCat]

@Translink_NI Got it now! Thank you

[Cat Rafferty @RaffertyCat]

I still think about this on an almost daily basis.

[Cat Rafferty @RaffertyCat]

Given the nature of TikTok, it makes sense that the vast majority I watch won't stay with me - but there was one several months ago that once began with the phrase "Are you ever anesthetising a Guinea Pig?"

No, never, but that phrase will stay with me forever.

Some of our wonderful radiographers and Engineers stayed after hours on Tuesday Night to create some beautifully painted pumpkins to show in the Radiotherapy garden.

A wonderful night organised by the Health & Wellbeing Group. 🎃

@IVGOrch @SquareEnix @finalfantasyxvi I think there may be an issue with your entry page...

[Cat Rafferty @RaffertyCat]

@Translink_NI Hey, I was stuck at TQ last night for over an hour and ended up calling an emergency favour from my sister to get home. The announcements are really difficult hear when on the platform unless you're standing directly under the speaker.

[Cat Rafferty @RaffertyCat]

@RyanHendry94 This makes no sense to me, because the amount of space on a bus is limited compared to the footpath. That said, I have to participate because if I have to stand, I will fall over.

[Cat Rafferty @RaffertyCat]

@Translink_NI It again looks like either the 18:39 substitution didn't turn up, or maybe it was early (I was 5 min early), or is very late. I can't keep doing this for an indefinite amount of time.

[Cat Rafferty @RaffertyCat]

@Translink_NI Semirelated question: I filled in an online query form on the Translink website to ask for help navigating the changes happening because I'm autistic. 2 months later I'm still not coping. It never got a reply. Is there an e-mail address where I can get accessibility advice from?

[Cat Rafferty @RaffertyCat]

@Translink_NI Alls good. We got it. It's running approx 10-15 min behind. 👌🏻

[Cat Rafferty @RaffertyCat]

@Translink_NI Hope we get the new timetables soon. Getting very anxious over worrying if I need to change my morning routine again. I check the timetables on the website and app multiple times a day worrying about it 😅.

[Cat Rafferty @RaffertyCat]

@Translink_NI
Do we know when new timetables are being released yet?

[Cat Rafferty @RaffertyCat]

If the list of this years Bonne Maman Advent Calendar Jams is correct, then I am super excited. There's one with Orange and Yuzu, and one with Rhubarb! HYPED!

Sunset in Bangor

@dukelamma @Translink_NI Their Train network from Belfast Lanyon Place until Lisburn (which is between Belfast and Dublin) is closing for an unspecified amount of time.

You'd need to get a bus to Portadown or Newry if you want to get the train. Or just the bus to Dublin.

@DogtorIzzy Rewatch movies or TV shows you already know the plot of in your target language without subtitles. Recommend starting with maybe Disney or Pixar, as there is the intent for those movies to be understood by everyone including children with limited vocabularies.

[Cat Rafferty @RaffertyCat]

@DogtorIzzy - Check websites like Eventbrite or MeetUp to see if there are any language exchange group.
- Listen to the charts in that country, if you find something you like, try sing a long, that can really help with pronunciation.
