@Work_Life_You Excellent point - I’ve long thought tha my we need Ministers for: Social connectedness & Belonging (not Loneliness); Healthy & Sustainable Living (not obesity); and Meaning & Purpose or Making Lives Worth Living (instead of suicide prevention).

[Vanessa King @changespace]

@GWRHelp Thank you. Please can you let me know if it will be held. Much appreciated.

[Vanessa King @changespace]

@GWRHelp Will the 14.24 from Plymouth to Gunnislake be held to enable passengers on the late running 11.03 from London Paddington to transfer? Hope so!

Trait 4: Gentleness. Compassionate leaders understand the power of gentleness. They lead with kindness, empathy, and compassion, creating a supportive and nurturing environment. By being gentle, leaders inspire and motivate their teams, fostering growth and well-being.

@BarclaysUKHelp We’ve been hanging on the phone for over an hour to report a lost/stolen card. We do not have the app & can’t download it as we don’t now have the card. This wait is unacceptable in an already stressful situation. There are no other options on your website. HELP!

@GWRHelp A big shout out and thank you to Fatima on the 14.29 from Tiverton Parkway to Paddington today who was so kind and thoughtful when my partner, who has Parkinson’s, fell getting on the train. And to the nice, patient conductor and a passenger who looked after our dog. 🙏

[Vanessa King @changespace]

@GabyDuboisjoli Congratulations! Well done on getting to this point! X

@GWRHelp But to be clear the 14.15 from Plymouth to Paddington is running all the way through not via rail replacement bus. Please confirm (ideally a human respondent!) Thanks

[Vanessa King @changespace]

@GWRHelp are the 14.15 and 15.15 trains running through directly from Plymouth to Paddington today or are there replacement buses for part journey. Travelling with a registered disabled person so helpful to know

[Vanessa King @changespace]

@GWRHelp Thanks so the line between Plymouth and Exeter has re-opened ?

[Vanessa King @changespace]

@GWRHelp When I looked up journey times for today on your website yesterday and this morning the major disruption was not at all clear. Your home page said services were running well!!

[Vanessa King @changespace]

@GWRHelp your website says most services are running well but there are no trains AT ALL out of Paddington?!!!!!

[Vanessa King @changespace]

@GWRHelp Your website at 10.52 says a good service across your network yet there appear to be no trains at all from Paddington!!!!

If you love language and learning you might enjoy this mini series made by a former journalist and language teacher son. I did! Super interesting!

[Neil Gallacher @NeilBiz]

My son and I have made a YouTube mini-series about the hidden links between a number of European languages. It’s been a labour of love. And it’s finally ready for its formal launch. Here’s Episode One.
