If you can't find me I'm probably with the 92s...

@JAT74L @Accor Looks like the one in Reading… 🤔

After four months as the Gate Guardian at Polmadie, @GBRailfreight’s 92006 has been repatriated to Wembley, with a view to picking up ECS duties. 92006 makes its way south through Hartford (Cheshire) this morning tucked inside 92023 on the @CalSleeper Up Highlander (1M16).

@pjjjh_ @ScotRail If you’re waiting for someone on the Aberdeen sleeper, it’s currently sat at the south end of the Tay Bridge and unable to cross until the wind drops. No real options for it to go anywhere else anytime soon either.

@BeerDebbi @YesImJack @CalSleeper Here’s a photo of your train passing through Hartford (Cheshire) as a memento of your eventful trip…!

@rammo1999 @GNev2 United 0-0 Exeter City FA Cup 3rd round in Jan 2005 is up there with the worst performances I can remember.

@nicholasdhair @railLKB @Clinnick1 @CalSleeper Mk5 stock isn’t Tunnel compliant. Needs to meet all sorts of extra fire safety measures, be the right length so doors line up with emergency exits etc. Would need brand new stock and a lot of red tape and expense getting GetLink / Eurotunnel to approve it.

@AD3Trains Close by the Gravelly Hill Interchange on the M6 or “Spaghetti Junction” as it’s more commonly known.

@swlines @trainfanmatt 99004 certainly isn’t heritage!

@MUFCPremYrs @AndyMitten @ChrisCasper1 will probably remember where / when it was taken…? My guess is one of the pre-season tours.

[Tim M @TimMoran78]

@13milepost It’s Mount Gahinga, which is an extinct volcano in the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. The name on 6706 has therefore got the two muddled. I believe LSL did realise this, but only after it had been beautifully painted by hand, so they’ve just rolled with it (pun intended)!

@HelenRe07161271 @BBCBreaking The quoted cap is for the prescription fee ONLY. You still need to pay for the meds separately. It’s a very misleading headline.

[Tim M @TimMoran78]

@jmeweston @BBCBreaking Vets legally cannot prescribe the human eye drops that cost a few quid at the chemist if theres an animal version available (“cascade” laws for animal medications in the UK). The manufacturers know this and charge 3/4x more for the exact same drops in animal packaging.

[Tim M @TimMoran78]

@alisonmcilroy2 @BBCBreaking Spot on, Alison. In a large dog you’d be looking about a fifth of this cost for bilateral hip replacement using much the same skills, equipment and expertise - yet people will be frantically typing away on their keyboards saying the £15,000 op was “extortionate”…

[Tim M @TimMoran78]

@sassycassyL @pjn151 @BBCBreaking @BBCNews Vet practices can legally ONLY buy meds from licensed wholesalers. Online pharmacies can buy direct from manufacturer. Vets have to pay a lot more to buy the likes of Metacam in from their wholesaler than it costs online. The practice’s mark-ups are much less than you’d think!

[Tim M @TimMoran78]

@naija2capeblog @BBCBreaking The £21 is the (written) prescription fee ONLY - you still have to pay for the meds on top of this!!

[Tim M @TimMoran78]

@Kezza_147 @m40282845 @B_Disappointed @SkyNews …if the CMA really wanted to do something to help reduce the cost of meds they’d have recommended removing the “cascade” and stop drug manufacturers inflating prices 3/4x for the exact same meds but in the animal packaging.

[Tim M @TimMoran78]

@Kezza_147 @m40282845 @B_Disappointed @SkyNews This is something called the “cascade”. Vets are legally not allowed to prescribe a human medicine when there’s an animal version available - even when it’s exactly the same drug in different packaging. The manufacturers know this and charge much more for the animal versions 1/2

@greenbeltsal @networkrail @Steveredwolf @Natures_Voice @BTP @ChrisGPackham This is WF8… where’s the exact tree in question then?
