@TheUCS473 Winding it back in and removing the tangles isn't much fun either😕

@TravelodgeUK
Of course you won't look at this and probably won't reply anyway.
I am staying in Travelodge Ipswich Central and the AC doesn't work, which is particularly annoying on the hottest day of the year.
I'm told the manager is aware, but the staff can't do anything.

@AvantiWestCoast There seems to be a system issue with X
I get this message, but when I try to set the passcode it says it can't reach the server. Other people have reported the same issue. Nothing to do with Avanti

@AvantiWestCoast
I am booking a train from Strood Kent to Carlisle on Sat 27th June. The journey from Euston is the 12.30 train. Because part of my journey is on Southeastern I cannot book a bike space on the leg from Euston although spaces are available. Can you help please

[Tim Decker @deckertim]

@AvantiWestCoast Hi, x com DMs are not working at the moment, is there another way I can message you? Whatsapp?

[Tim Decker @deckertim]

@GWRHelp Can you please help. I am buying an advance ticket from Cardiff Central to Strood, Kent on 4th July at 10.20. If I only book to Paddington I can book a bike space, but if I do the journey to Strood it says the bike space isn't available. Thanks

[Tim Decker @deckertim]

@AvantiWestCoast I wasn't after an advance ticket, just a normal off peak return. I can buy this from another Train Company, such as SouthEastern

[Tim Decker @deckertim]

@AvantiWestCoast Can you investigate why it is not possible to buy a return from Lancaster to Rochester on 7th April. NRail shows this as a valid journey with a bus replacement from Milton Keynes to Bedford. However when it transfers to you for ticket purchase there is an error

[Tim Decker @deckertim]

@theiaincameron The Highway code didn't change that much. Prior to this drivers were still supposed to stop for pedestrians crossing the road.
I have had several arguments with ignorant drivers who obviously are unaware of this.

@sciencegirl Where's the mushy peas

[Tim Decker @deckertim]

@Se_Railway Thanks. That is still more expensive than it should be. An adult off peak return (non HS1) from Strood to London Terminals is £12.50 with a Senior railcard. So total should be £13.50
I think this could be because the app is assuming part of the journey is with Thameslink

[Tim Decker @deckertim]

@Se_Railway I am trying to purchase an off peak day return to London with my 5 year old granddaughter. Your app won't allow us to get the 'kids for a quid' deal
If I book advance single tickets it does allow the deal.
What is going on here please.

[Tim Decker @deckertim]

@Se_Railway Strood to Waterloo East

[Tim Decker @deckertim]

@Se_Railway I have tried it with and without a railcard and the same thing happens

[Tim Decker @deckertim]

@Nithya_Shrii Creosote. I don't think it is allowed in the UK now

@Posted_to_BAOR Top roping and abseiling supervisor course at Towyn, Wales. Did some great trips because of this and used to help my local scout group after leaving.

A proper full English breakfast should contain fried bread rather than hash browns.

Hi Lee. He doesn’t. They didn’t, an Independant production Co did…it should have been picked up, direct heads should roll, we should appreciate a Broadcaster that actually reports on its own mistakes. It’s ours, it’s part of the fabric of being British, attacking it is pretty unpatriotic I say.

@VictoriaCoren An apology from the NYT today. Made me laugh

@Foxy2Para Massive congratulations. AATW
