@EmmaMcQuillan17 Haha, don't worry, I'm completely winding! But if you missed the early bird ticket you did miss out on a lovely VLP notebook and pen set!

@EmmaMcQuillan17 Did you get a cheap ticket? I have pastries for my break! 🐷

@Translink_NI when it's a rainy day and the train goes 2 minutes early while commuters are running for it, that's pretty crap...
