@thetrainline Tried to book tickets weeks ago; couldn’t without incurring a price hike of several hundred £ when confirming. Reported it and it’s being investigated. Told to contact customer service to book tickets. They won’t honour the original price. Joke.

[Hayley Blake @laceyjane83]

@thetrainline It’s a completely different price yet again.

[Hayley Blake @laceyjane83]

@thetrainline I’ve tried to book these tickets several times, but instead of being charged the lower amount it automatically jumps to the higher amount and I’ve no idea why. Tried on the app and I get a completely different price yet again! Help!

[Hayley Blake @laceyjane83]

@thetrainline Here is a screen recording. I'm not on the app, I'm on a laptop.

@thetrainline 08:26 from Trowbridge to Paddington. Gets in at 10:23.

@Waterstones Absolutely pointless: it doesn’t apply to either of the books I want to pre-order.

[Hayley Blake @laceyjane83]

Just had the most appalling customer service at Paddington from @GWR Wouldn’t listen, wouldn’t look at me, claiming I shouldn’t buy split tickets (even though it’s an option on Trainline) and generally couldn’t have been less interested in helping me.

Last Friday, we were fortunate enough to receive a visit from Baroness Barran, Shadow Minister for Education and current member of the House of Lords. See today’s newsletter for the full report! Thank you to @ukhouseoflords and Baroness Barran for this wonderful opportunity.

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS was released 15 years ago this week. A revisionist World War II tale and Quentin Tarantino’s first foray into the war genre, the story of how it came to be is as out there as you’d expect for QT…
