@loveholidays Hi! I am booked in an all inclusive with a group of friends. What happens if I were to "miss" my flight back? Would it effect the rest of the group in any way? Thanks 🙏

[Kate Campbell-Payne @KTPme]

@thetrainline I can book them as two singles. Maybe this needs to be passed on to your developers so at least a better, clearer message could be put in place.

[Kate Campbell-Payne @KTPme]

@thetrainline @AvantiWestCoast So it looks like I can get back via Crewe on 19th - tickets are there on Trainline app but STILL not letting me buy??? What's going on?

[Kate Campbell-Payne @KTPme]

@AvantiWestCoast I'm trying to book tickets from Manchester to London in mid-January and neither your website or app or @thetrainline are allowing? All showing in search but unavailable when I go to book - Why is this? When will they be available again?

[Kate Campbell-Payne @KTPme]

@thetrainline Right, so I have to do them as singles??? Why is there even an option to do it as a return if that's the case? I have been trying to book this trip on Trainline and @AvantiWestCoast for days now and still none the wiser 🤬

[Kate Campbell-Payne @KTPme]

@thetrainline Nope - another error message 🙄

[Kate Campbell-Payne @KTPme]

@thetrainline I have DMed 👍

@CrossCountryUK 13.12 Birmingham to Plymouth - only another hour 🤞

[Kate Campbell-Payne @KTPme]

@CrossCountryUK Hot tip - maybe if you know trains are going to be so busy that toilets will be blocked by standing customers, try to ensure that they are all at least working when/if we get there? Crossing my legs for four hours isn't ideal 😬

Trump has fallen below 50% in the popular vote. His margin of victory (pop vote + electoral college) is the third smallest since 1888. (Only JFK in '60 and Nixon in '68 were smaller.) If 238k votes in the blue wall states had been different, he would have lost. Not a mandate.

This. I'm a full-time carer. I had to give up full-time work & go part-time. We DEPEND on the Local Council run day centres that my mum attends. We NEED them. They are under threat of closure. We will be at crisis point if they close as no respite. Fund social services.

[Kate Campbell-Payne @KTPme]

Listened this afternoon - great bit of hidden social history and definitely a film script in the making please???

Fantastic National Trust podcast tells the story of the ‘Brown Babies’ born to black GI fathers and white British mothers during WW2. Two of them retrace their history to being in care in an NT house in Exmouth. With ⁦@DavidOlusoga⁩ https://t.co/0DM6XENNNf

[Kate Campbell-Payne @KTPme]

Also so. Much. Spam. 🙄

[Kate Campbell-Payne @KTPme]

@Ryanair Is it possible to just cancel & get refund for one ticket in a group??? My friend has fallen ill but I still want to go!

[Kate Campbell-Payne @KTPme]

@CareRyanairline Spam

[Kate Campbell-Payne @KTPme]

@askryanai0r Nope - you're spam 🙄

[The Daily Show @TheDailyShow]

.@jonstewart breaks down what the recent Harris-Trump debate could mean for the election

[Kate Campbell-Payne @KTPme]

@CrossCountryUK @GWRHelp Expect a refund form, obviously, but also is there somewhere I can detail the catalogue of frustration caused by your delay (that has happened to me BOTH TIMES I've travelled back from Swindon)? Surely this needs to be taken into account with compensation?

[Kate Campbell-Payne @KTPme]

The plan according to @thetrainline: Swindon-Bristol Parkway-Manchester

The Reality caused by @GWRHelp and a temporary @CrossCountryUK timetable: Swindon-Bristol Parkway- Birmingham-Stafford-Stockport- Manchester

Finally home after five trains and one bus - what an unfunny joke

[Kate Campbell-Payne @KTPme]

@GWRHelp For the second time, I am stuck outside Bristol Parkway on the 16.40 from Swindon which means I will miss the Manchester connection there - why is this put as an option on @thetrainline when this train is ALWAYS more than 7 minutes late???

[Kate Campbell-Payne @KTPme]

Please can someone tell Peter on @CrossCountryUK that I did get home eventually and that they helped keep me just about sane 👍
