@AndyRoden1 That's good information. What is the plan going forward to ensure reliable services given the increasingly hotter summers though? Will rail go back to being shorter sections to allow for more expansion?

@shivmalik What a ridiculous tweet. "Millions of millionaires". How do you come up with that figure? Counting people's houses & pensions that are necessary to give them an income in retirement above the worst State Pension in Europe?

[Robert Marsh @marsh_rj]

@UKLabour How, exactly is Labour "building" a railway? How does renationalising ToCs help?
It can't even oversee the start of services on East-West Rail, 18 months after the line was completed to Bletchley.
What happened to infrastructure improvements & reopening much needed rail-links?

[Robert Marsh @marsh_rj]

@SamMorshead_ Just dumbfounded about how badly it fell away in the last couple of months.
I suspect fans are trying to forget it ever happened.

@autocar Meh..it looks too tall even from a distance. Big wheels can't hide that. I guess those batteries have to go somewhere.

@hornby Class 52 Western.

If it is steam, GWR Castle.

[Robert Marsh @marsh_rj]

@autocar Looks nice enough apart from the "cut and paste" cheap looking interior. Would much prefer an ICE version.

[Robert Marsh @marsh_rj]

@Official_STFC Utterly embarrassing. Sorry, but hang your heads in shame.

[Robert Marsh @marsh_rj]

@SamMorshead_ Sadly I really believe that the dream.has gone now. A tiny bit of consistency would have seen us in the top three yet here we are unlikely to even make a playoff spot and outsiders to win through even if we do secure top 7. Sad. Such a waste of opportunity.

[Robert Marsh @marsh_rj]

@afneil The bigger question is lack of frigates, submarines and the total absence from the government of any political will to take decisive action in defence of the country as opposed to just talking about it.

[Robert Marsh @marsh_rj]

@RachelReevesMP You're making working people who can't afford children pay for others choices to have many. What's worse is that many haven't ever been UK taxpayers.

[Robert Marsh @marsh_rj]

@ClaireCoutinho He's trying to turn us into a 2nd World country.

[Robert Marsh @marsh_rj]

@SamMorshead_ Well said.
It's very sad that the recent run of results has made the top 3 unlikely but we have to keep trying, and perhaps believing.
I really worry about our ability to make it through the playoffs and I'm not sure my nerves would stand it!
6/8 wins could still see us 3rd. 🤞

[Robert Marsh @marsh_rj]

@Heidi_Labour What's happening with East West Rail though? How many more years must we wait whilst the ToC and unions argue?

[Robert Marsh @marsh_rj]

@AndyRoden1 It's a shame this isn't investigated and called out more often. I heard about some of this first hand from a manager in a big contract supplier (now gone bust) many years ago.
It keeps costs stupidly high and also stifles innovation.

[Robert Marsh @marsh_rj]

@rebecca_ryder21 Badly negotiated contracts. Many suppliers are guaranteed business irrespective of performance and cost. Apparently it happened a lot alongside PFI, and likely continues.
Incompetence or something more sinister? Either way, we're all paying..

[Robert Marsh @marsh_rj]

@UKLabour Good news. Yet Emergency Department waits hit record highs. 🤔

[Robert Marsh @marsh_rj]

@SamMorshead_ It feels like we're letting this season slip away. Hopefully the earlier good form will return 🤞
I still think it's an auto promotion place or we're staying down given our results against top teams.

[Robert Marsh @marsh_rj]

@SamMorshead_ Too early perhaps, but I honestly think the only way the Town will go up is if they're in the top 3. 24 points more would be good. That's definitely within their grasp, though.

[Robert Marsh @marsh_rj]

@ColinKi24316607 @nymr Where, though? There's no access.
In any case, the big attraction for many travellers is services to Whitby.
