@CrossCountryUK how have I spent £60 to travel up north to be stuck on an overheating train in Birmingham with no seats, no standing room and no update on when we might move 🥲🥲 sort it out PLEASE

[holly @holdenton]

@CrossCountryUK is there an unreserved carriage on the 1400 train from Bristol to Manchester Piccadilly?

[holly @holdenton]

@CrossCountryUK is there an unreserved coach on the 1256 train from Sheffield to Plymouth?

These GWR replacement buses between Bristol and Bath are an absolute joke. No communication from staff, stood out in the cold and rain while all buses running late. @GWRHelp do better pls.

Forcing myself to keep reading about this case because it's important to understand what the worst men are capable of doing to women and children.

@schuhHELP @schuh Hey, I’m trying to DM you but I’m unable to. Any suggestions?

[holly @holdenton]

@schuh @schuhHELP my parcel is on its way back to you as Evri couldn’t find my address, do I need to re-order or can they be re-sent?

Train has now split in Birmingham new street, only 4 out of 9 carriages going to Bristol. On board announcement told everyone in the section with carriage F to get off - that was wrong. Now we are stuck waiting in Birmingham for the next train. Absolutely awful communication

@CrossCountryUK I’m on the delayed 1056 train from Sheffield to Plymouth. We are stood like sardines with no access to basic facilities such as water or the toilet. We paid over £150 for this service, do better.

@LawrenceHoo Is there anything specific you need donated, or any additional support we can provide?

My mum.

Raised 7 children, mainly as a single parent. Due to the third coming out arse first, she ended up having 5 caesareans.

She built the garden all around our house, using spade and wheelbarrow to move tonnes of rock on her own.

Throughout my childhood, despite having next to no money, we never went without. Mum grew fruit and vegetables for us, raised ducks, chickens, geese, and bought in bulk to keep us healthy and fit.

She survived the father of her babies trying to murder her and she saved my 2 oldest siblings from him.

For many years she has been leader at the local pre-school, known as Aunty by small children all around. "This is Aunty L's daughter" parents tell their children when I meet them, and they look at me with big eyes full of wonder. I had a tree planted to recognise the young lives she has been part of and helped shape.

When my sister was being eaten alive by clear cell ovarian cancer in 2021, Mum spent 5 days and nights in a chair next to her. She held her hand and talked to her softly as she took her final breath.

Badness is not achieved by posing to please the male gaze, badness is achieved by being a fucking warrior.
