@AlisonWeirBooks Would love to, but couldn't find you on @substack - do you have a link you could share please? Thanks

@CityPolice I was a victim of fraud outside @NetworkRailLST recently, and was disappointed to experience that 4 emails were required for @CityPolice to issue a crime reference. Particularly so considering this is the National Lead Force for fraud. @citylordmayor https://t.co/UbGgaNdCT1

Hi @Se_Railway I understand from https://t.co/hm5TKTXBck that off-peak fares apply all day Mon 29 Dec, so can I use the Network Railcard fare £13 rtn on trains departing before 1000 from BEG-LON, even though the journey planner (see screenshot) does not offer this? Thanks

@ArchiDame Can we have this scene on a Christmas card for next year? 🎄

[Stephen Hartley @dcifoyle]

@ArchiDame Another lovely drawing. Happy Christmas and thank you for your contribution to @railway200 this year!

@naomibrockwell Wonderfully well-written and inspiring article; inspiring us all to make small changes that make a difference, such as using @signalapp. Is this article available on @LinkedIn?

Is there really no GB rail ticket retailer that accepts secure, fee-free digital wallet payments like @link, or #ClicktoPay from @VisaUK @MastercardUK? An idea for @RealtimeTrains @raileasy @RailRetailers - I'd love it if I didn't have to re-enter card details on every purchase!

@SteveWhiteRail @railway200 I spent an enjoyable afternoon at Victoria yesterday, despite the cold and wet weather! Friendly volunteers to welcome and guide, I was even lucky enough to be joined by Chris Green on the adjacent track! Here's an album of photos of what you can see: https://t.co/ZvgSjRipKs

@HelenL37911 Wow, Chris Green is absolutely spotless!

The Christmas lights in St Andrews this year have been described by locals as “pants”.

@GarethDennis @SimonCalder Great minds...! 😀

[Stephen Hartley @dcifoyle]

@SimonCalder Why not also use @RealtimeTrains where ticket sales have all of the above features, and profits are invested in providing train information services which are helpful to passengers. Realtime Trains is an independent real-time train information provider. https://t.co/yWa6z9OEpe

🚨 MASSIVE: Researchers scraped 3.5 BILLION WhatsApp phone numbers using the app's contact discovery feature, along with profile photos and bios for millions of people. This would be "the largest data leak in history" if it hadn't been done by researchers 🧵

@paullewismoney My question is, will the upper limit for fraud loss "reimbursement" change in line with this? See this from @WhichUK @WhichMoney https://t.co/pa3fl4KbwP

@ScotRail Don't you mean "especially on the coldest of days"?! Love Scotland in the winter! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❄️🚆

@BobFromAccounts @MayorofLondon @hackneycouncil @goldsmithsrow That's cool - if it works! Thanks for sharing, hopefully @hackneycouncil can fix both now!
