@EastMidRailway You mean the miscommunication that cost us a taxi fare…

[Colin Brearley @ColinBrearley]

@EastMidRailway how do we reclaim the cost of the taxi we had to get to get home to Loughborough after we had to evacuate the 1805 service from St Pancras at Luton this evening?

[Colin Brearley @ColinBrearley]

@EastMidRailway We were told no other services from this station as the intercity’s don’t stop at Luton. No real guidance provided as to what to do instead. Given the train stopped because it was full of fumes, and only did that when enough people complained, this is very poor.

@EastMidRailway @joe_bell @TodaysRailways @EastMidRailway and yet once again the aisles are full through the whole train with people having to stand all the way…

@keithdunn @RndmForestRunnr Looking forward to John’s write up of this one…

@mazymixer Always quite satisfying driving past them and seeing the line of yellow tickets stuck on all the windscreens, but unfortunately it doesn’t happen often enough.

Kilian Jornet completes Alpine Connections, “the most challenging thing I’ve ever done”

After completing stage 16 in the Ecrins massif, we can now confirm that Kilian has connected all 82 of the Alps' 4,000-meter peaks in 19 days using only human-powered means.

The project is a colossal challenge due to the exposure, technical difficulty, and focus it requires.

In a hybrid combination of trail running, mountaineering, climbing, and cycling, Kilian Jornet has brought together everything he is passionate about in this project: the majesty of the mountains, facing the unknown, honoring alpinism and his mentors, physiological research, and the pursuit of physical and mental limits, all shared with friends and the community.

This, for me, one of THE greatest sporting achievements of all time. Chapeaux Kilian Jornet

Last time I was on this train was 25 years ago. What a scary thought.

[Colin Brearley @ColinBrearley]

Hmmm, my nice cosy 40min connection in Lausanne will now have to be a super-speedy 8min one due to a broken down train at Geneva. Could be interesting!

[Colin Brearley @ColinBrearley]

@AllyBeaven Looking good! See you out there in a couple of days

[Colin Brearley @ColinBrearley]

Congratulations @JasminKParis on your MBE. Fantastic news!

* throwback to last year’s event!

[Colin Brearley @ColinBrearley]

1hr train trip into Paris. €5. Train clean, warm, bang on time, and also running on a bank holiday. Free parking for the car at the station. Quite a comparison.
