@nationalexpress I'm trying to book coach journeys to/from Derby for August, but the usual times are not coming up on the website. Have the times changed? Is it too early to book?

[Mary Burslem @MaryBurslem]

@British_Airways

1. Add a note to my booking confirming I contacted BA before departure and cannot travel due to disruption, and
2. Advise what protection can be applied to preserve my return flight?

I understand this is a group booking, but I would really appreciate any help

@British_Airways

My tour operator has advised their group ticketing team is closed today, so I cannot make changes through them.

I need to make sure I am not treated as a no-show and that my return flight is not cancelled.

Could you please:

@British_Airways Hello, I’m calling about an urgent travel issue.

I’m booked on a British Airways flight tomorrow from London City as part of a group booking, but I’m currently in Sweden and unable to travel due to disruption caused by Storm Dave.

Heartiest congrats to @johnmrutter for his Knighthood. Could not go to a more deserving person for his brilliance as Composer, orchestrator, producer, conductor and scholar. His impact on choral music and wider music has been just immense. He basically invented the close-miked mixed choir sound with his Cambridge Singers recordings. His music editions are first rate. And he is also a terribly nice bloke and friend to so many of us, who has kept his integrity as a musician over many years. Ultra respect. 🙏❤️

[King's School Rochester @KingsSchoolRoch]

Don’t forget you can come and see the King's Percussionists join Rochester Choral Society for a Rutter concert at the St George’s Centre, Chatham on Saturday, 22 June at 7pm. We hope to see you there.

Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay‌ so we're being very sustainable by taking back all the books that people have read, putting them onto shelves for people to look through, then giving them out again to other people who haven't read them yet. It's a great system. ♻️ #Libraries

Exciting news from @thewittjones
