@EastMidRailway In that case I'd suggest you need more units.

[Robert Betts @allsideways]

@EastMidRailway is usually a poor service but today really takes it. 12:26 packed throughout, no seats for the elderly, who have booked in advance, no toilet access etc etc. Despite knowing in advance of these issues why only 5 carriage trains?

@goodreads I nearly binned Wuthering Heights at the mid-point. I didn't love it, but it rewarded sticking it out.

WE NOW HAVE A YEAR OF DATA SINCE 20MPH WAS INTRODUCED IN WALES

There were around 100 fewer people killed or seriously injured on 20/30mph roads.

The number of casualties in 2024 from July-Sept was the lowest Q3 figures in Wales since records began.

Over the year since it came in the number of casualties on roads affected by the law is 28% lower than the year before.

This is good policy making.

@matteveritt @BBC6Music Jimmy Chamberlin of the Pumpkins. Jazz background and one of the most versatile in rock. Muzzle from Mellon Collie a particular highlight of what he brings to the band. See also Cherub Rock, I am One etc etc
