@northernassist hi, the 15:35 and 16:34 trains DON-MEX are both cancelled, are you putting any additional stops on the fast service or will the next train be the 17:34?

Purple drapes! All my life I've wanted purple drapes!

@GWRHelp I'd like to say a huge thank you to your control team that held 1A35 at Bath for the late running 1F28 arrival. Had the evening from hell trying to get to SWI from Dorset and that has absolutely made my night and saved so much more stress and delays. Thank you 😊

@DRFC_Peo Oh man that's grim thank god I wasn't working there yesterday

[Tom C @Tom372]

@northernassist Thanks, do you know if it'll be going as far as Seascale at least?

[Tom C @Tom372]

@northernassist hi, we were awaiting the 10:20 from Ravenglass towards Corkickle, any news on what is happening please? It vanished off the screens at the time it was due to leave and there's no more information

[Tom C @Tom372]

@CrossCountryUK hi, is there an unreserved coach on the 1231 Derby-Plymouth please?

[Tom C @Tom372]

@SimonCalder I notice LNER not mentioned there. I've just looked a couple of weeks ahead and if you get up early enough to catch the likes of the 04.40 from York or Newcastle to London you'll be paying upwards of £150.

@MazeofDeception Careful now, that wind might blow your tinfoil hat off

@anon_opin Why would I want to sit and listen to people playing stupid tiktok videos and kids squawking when I can eat in peace in my car.

At Porto airport (airPorto?) and feeling pretty rough after many beers in good company last night. Wish I'd paid to avoid the middle seat on the flight back to Drearyland, can't be doing with this 🤢

[Tom C @Tom372]

A distinct lack of anticyclonic gloom here 😁 feeling that sunshine soak into me.

[Tom C @Tom372]

@MARYANNSUPert Can u not

@jet2tweets hi, I'm trying to check in for my flight home on Sunday, problem is I can't find my booking reference. The flight has been paid for but the only email I had was confirming I was going to Manchester but with no reference details in. Any suggestions please?

This week's weather phrase: Anticyclonic Gloom ☁️☁️☁️

This can occur when high pressure traps a layer of moisture near to the earth's surface, bringing a prolonged period of dull and cloudy weather, with mist and fog also possible. How would you describe today's weather?

[Tom C @Tom372]

@vitusdoom1 @7Sec4 @metoffice Sounds like a great name for a band

[Tom C @Tom372]

@wallygridboy It wouldn't surprise me - it's already happened to several stations now!

The final day of commuting across the Hope Valley. The wheel of (mis)fortune has been spun again and landed on "delays under investigation" held my train just enough to let the stopper out in front 🙃

[Tom C @Tom372]

Can we have our pre-Covid timetable back then?
