@dirtycitybird This is really awful. I lived in my university town for a decade before I learned that there was a traveler halt between my uni and the closest supermarket. They didn’t have any wall up, but thick trees/hedges which obscured any view whatsoever. Wonder who saw to that…

I just wrote a letter to my MP asking them to urge @sajidjavid to #ScrapCareCharges and introduce free home care

Irish banks are SO MUCH nicer to speak to than UK ones. Just saying.

SAD: Last night, @realDonaldTrump again made unfounded claims about massive voter fraud in NH in 2016.

In this letter, I ask him to back up his claims in terms a former casino operator should understand: “There comes a time when you need to lay your cards on the table or fold.”

I was stoked to do my half tri in under an hour, but still disgusted that the @SuperheroTri took money from an organization with the blood of disabled people on its hands. #Shameless

@LizLewisPhD Depends on your field too I think. As someone that studied in a business school I wasn't particularly worried about not getting a tenured position - but I did then leave academia due to disability discrimination.

[Sophie Gamwell @chickof78]

@VirginTrains Thanks for the clarification that this *is* how you treat disabled customers that you have let down. Very unhelpful. Especially when you have made your trains less accessible to #disabled cyclists by design. #accessfail

[Sophie Gamwell @chickof78]

I'm on a @VirginTrains with my ebike despite booked assitance not showing up (which took filling out form *and* 2 calls). 5 mins before departure I asked Barry from train crew to assist, which he did. Still utterly unacceptable. #AccessFail

[Sophie Gamwell @chickof78]

@VirginTrains *if* something went wrong? I had assistance booked. No assitance turned up. Something went wrong. I have given you plenty of details to investigate it or pass it on. Is this really how you treat #disabled passengers that you've let down @VirginTrains ?

[Sophie Gamwell @chickof78]

@VirginTrains I needed help to get my bike on the train and secured in the space, and with my luggage if I was seated in a different carriage to it. None arrived. I had to ask train staff. This is an access failure that seems endemic as it's happened my last 4 journeys.

[Sophie Gamwell @chickof78]

@VirginTrains Yes, I got that reference after my second call. The problem is that the assitance wasn't there at Holyhead despite me booking it, going to the reception, going to customer care and waiting 20 mins on the platform. #accessfail

[Sophie Gamwell @chickof78]

@NetworkRailEUS @VirginTrains Thanks @NetworkRailEUS - I'm assuming @VirginTrains are getting my details to find out what went wrong at Holyhead, and to offer me some compensation for the unacceptably poor experience.

[Sophie Gamwell @chickof78]

@VirginTrains @NetworkRailEUS I tried to book on your website, but never got confirmation. Then I called your call centre and they booked the assitance, but I didn't get the email, so I called back today to check. Apparently it's all on your system.

[Sophie Gamwell @chickof78]

@VirginTrains @NetworkRailEUS I sent it via pm.

@billybirdshome @lisasaputo @NeeKieran @IzzyKamikaze @lochgarman1798 @Annie_deBhal There are lots of video's with the start and end of their salutes. These were not people waving. #SpeakersUnicorners

[Sophie Gamwell @chickof78]

@VirginTrains @NetworkRailEUS I got a rail and sail at the station (on 1st August), but the assitance booking is PA-20190810-00496

[Sophie Gamwell @chickof78]

@NetworkRailEUS @VirginTrains I'm in A25, on the 13.55 from Holyhead.
