@WestMidRailway @ThomAR5E Or skimping on maintenance caused the train to break down. I guess the champagne jacuzzi for the shareholders has to be paid for somehow

[Lukas Large @lukaslarge]

@WestMidRailway Ok I have to visit the station information page. Phew the information at last!

[Lukas Large @lukaslarge]

@WestMidRailway Let's try to find out where the rail replacement buses leave from in the @WestMidRailway website. Starting here

[Lukas Large @lukaslarge]

@WestMidRailway Ok the rail replacement page should have this basic essential information. Oh

[Lukas Large @lukaslarge]

@WestMidRailway I don't know that's why I'm asking for a timetable luckily I managed to find a useful page from Southeastern who don't hate and despise unlike yourselves

[Lukas Large @lukaslarge]

@WestMidRailway Do you think it might be useful to let passengers know when the rail replacement buses from Snow Hill are?

Day 31 of #31DaysofGraves is skull
We couldn't resist this little white puffball mushroom who's been nibbled into skull shape (probably by a passing slug).
Found by @lukaslarge while doing a Fungi Foray for @FriendsKHandWL last Saturday!

@lizardschwartz @SaatchiArt The branching pattern is different from any real tree - the thin twigs just sort of fade into wispy filaments that look more like the patterns made by water than trees. They have also used AI to produce images of fungi like this one which automatically makes me suspicious

[Lukas Large @lukaslarge]

I can't believe @SaatchiArt is trying to sell AI slop like this for £2,000! Don't waste your money on crap like this and if you do people will point and laugh at you for being a sucker

[Lukas Large @lukaslarge]

@networkrail It is shocking that you have failed to take action on this problem for so long. That you have been forced to finally do something after years of negligent failure is utterly pathetic.

Here is the winning image of our #ukfungusday photography competition, selected by our judges from nearly 400 entries. This is earpick fungus, taken by Barry Webb in the New Forest in December 2023.

Was chuffed to go to @BM_AG today ahead of it opening on Thursday. It made me feel feelings which I'll tell you about tomorrow maybe? For now, enjoy a full list of what's new at this precious place and enjoy Lucifer's nob making it on to the homepage x

[Ruth Millington @ruth_millington]

Worth the wait! @BM_AG is back, mixing old and new in a creative city that'll never be finished but isn't that what's so great about Birmingham?

[BirminghamWire @WireBirmingham]

REOPENING: @BM_AG is set to officially reopen this week, welcoming the public back into the venue's existing galleries, as well as unveiling several brand-new spaces...

Forget the nonsense about reviewing costs on Phase 1 of HS2, today's real news is that this government has announced in no uncertain terms that it will not be progressing with Phase 2 to Crewe, Manchester or Leeds.

Craven. Short-sighted. Hugely damaging.
