@AvantiWestCoast Found some free seats in coach C, only to be told by the staff that it's closed and we can't sit there, when there's other people sat in there anyway. Staff are just happier to let us stand apparently.

[Alice Silcock @alicewoodwind]

@AvantiWestCoast not only do your reservations mean myself and my boyfriend cannot sit together on the train, but our reservations aren't showing on the onboard system, so when the train gets to Preston, someone else will be booked in our seats?!

[Alice Silcock @alicewoodwind]

@AvantiWestCoast Ok thanks. That might not be easy seeing as all the tables are taken by single people 🤔 but we'll see.

[Alice Silcock @alicewoodwind]

@CrossCountryUK Not sure if I still have the cover letter.. is it the same as the standard delay repay address?

[Alice Silcock @alicewoodwind]

@CrossCountryUK I have a journey scratch card from compensation for a delay, it expires at the beginning of August, but I'm unable to use it before then as it won't be an essential journey. Would you be able to extend the expiry date please?

It must be show week #titanic #reed5 #bassoon

Had a great time playing Tchaikovsky 5 at Malmesbury Abbey today. That's another one ticked off the bucket list ✅

@GWRHelp @channel5_tv I really hope you're filming a new series of #paddington247 and that tonight at #TivertonParkway features for a whole episode

[Alice Silcock @alicewoodwind]

@CrossCountryUK thanks so much for your amazing train staff looking after us on the 2049 BRI-PLY that got delayed at #TivertonParkway tonight. Fab hot chocolate to keep me going. One suggestion, in situations like this, a complementary WiFi code would be really lovely

Watching #trainsfromhell caught on camera #Channel4. If there was ever a reason to #KeepTheGuardOnTheTrain then this is it

[Alice Silcock @alicewoodwind]

Totally mesmerised by @tsdcofficial at #royalEdinburghmilitarytattoo 🥁

[Alice Silcock @alicewoodwind]

I'm not watching the football today. Instead I'll be playing in Birmingham Symphony Hall with SPO. So lucky to be doing this #MFYNational

[Alice Silcock @alicewoodwind]

Fab end of year concert with SPO. Watching SWB play Moments for Morricone bought back memories of my days in SYWO #bestdays @Sutton_Music

[Alice Silcock @alicewoodwind]

Epic concert last night. One more concert before I leave uni, and we're playing some of Calling all Dawns on Friday too! https://t.co/4v8bnNckGk

[Bath Spa Live @bathspalive]

The soloists leaving the stage to a standing ovation. You’ve missed our performance of Calling all Dawns by ⁦Christopher Tin but people who caught it will never forget! ⁦@wiltshiremusic⁩ ⁦⁦@BathSpaUni⁩ ⁦@francisfaux⁩

[Alice Silcock @alicewoodwind]

@jgarrattcomp it is, but I am also slightly relieved!

Annual orchestration recordings for BSU. First time no one has written a contrabassoon part for wind band
