Thanks to @CreativeF_uture and Felicity @BishopLine I'm spending the day at Darlington station and going up and down from Bishop to Saltburn doing my favourite things: nattering, writing and smiling 😊 Hurrah! I love trains, me. If you spot me, say hi!

New industry proposals for ticket offices would enable staff to deliver more face-to-face advice and support to passengers, including those with accessibility needs.

Train magic. I was on board the Northern Line today talking to one of my poetry heroes, The Rhyming Conductor! The man who brings a smile to the passengers on the trains with his couplets! Heard stories of train heroes and railway ghosts. Best day ever! @BishopLine
