Ok, I may have lost my marbles with this one! I have organised a Diving Experience with #Sharks to raise money for the @BBInclusionfans #Football team for Children with #Disabilities. Wish me luck for 29th November at Blue Planet Aquarium 😱🦈

🚌 @MetroMayorSteve joined passengers on board the first publicly controlled bus in the Liverpool City Region in 40 years.

A historic day for public transport in our region! 👏

🚌 WE’VE TAKEN BACK CONTROL 🚌

For the first time in 40 years, buses in the Liverpool City Region are back under public control.

A new era for public transport in our area has begun. 👏

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Congratulations to Steve and the Liverpool City Region for today putting buses back under public control after 40 years of deregulation.

This is what putting power back into communities looks like. 👍🏻

[Steve Rotheram @MetroMayorSteve]

Long gone are the days when this country needed to look to London as the pinnacle of public transport.

We’re building something here in the Liverpool City Region that the rest of the country can aspire to.

This is the beginning of a new era for public transport in our region.

[Steve Rotheram @MetroMayorSteve]

🚌 Come with me on the brand new X3 service to @LPL_Airport.

It connects 25,000 more people within an hour of the airport - just one of the many changes passengers will start to see from today.

Dolly Parton taught us that a woman can be powerful, beautiful and talented, and still be kind. And that success never has to come at the expense of grace, generosity, or heart !! What a wonderful example she set for us all.

Rest well, Ms. Parton! We will always love you!! May your light shine on…

Miley Cyrus & Dolly Parton singing I Will Always Love You x Wrecking Ball. Their last performance together and one of the greatest performances ever.

[Miley Official @MileyCyrusBz]

It was revealed that Dolly Parton was secretly battling cancer but she didn't say anything and instead released this song as one of her last to raise funds for children with cancer. Even while she was sick she was still thinking about others. I’m absolutely devastated.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Some rules are just unfair. This was one of them.

[Steve Rotheram, Mayor of the Liverpool City Region @LCRMayor]

🚨 NEW | The government has announced that, from next April, disabled people in England will be able to use their bus passes for free travel at any time of day.

The change is expected to benefit around one million people.

@LCRMayor has always championed improvement for better access, opportunities & treatment for people with disabilities. Being his Deputy (with longterm disabilities) I know the impact of his dedication to make a positive & real difference for our city region- @andyburnham likewise

[Steve Rotheram @MetroMayorSteve]

Making bus travel more accessible and affordable is good news for passengers.

Here in the Liverpool City Region, we already have one of the most generous concessionary travel schemes in the country - and this announcement takes it even further.

It's a big day for those receiving their A-Level, T-Level and VTQ Level 3 results today!

Fingers crossed 🤞 for everyone waiting for their email to ping or heading to school and college this morning, but remember if your grades aren't what you hoped, it's not the end of the world.

There are plenty of alternative routes to follow and lots of support available. Have a look on our Be-More site for more info: https://t.co/6Ds8IFuAl8

We are going to end rough sleeping in this country at the first opportunity.

[Elizabeth Mistry @ElizabethMistry]

The Atkinson is a terrific venue - with great accessible facilities for disabled visitors (& their carers) and even a #ChangingPlaces toilet!
