@livmarshalluk @CrossCountryUK This happens every day! I commute via Manchester to Birmingham nearly every day. The trains are more crowded than many rush hour tube trains. Why can’t @CrossCountryUK have longer trains more frequently?!

[Nicholas Trygstad @nbtrygstad]

@Keir_Starmer as a regular commuter from Birmingham New Street to Manchester, I’m getting rather tired of the crowds swarming to board my train north, while the London train on the adjacent platform is practically empty. And the northern leg of HS2 was cancelled why exactly?

[Nicholas Trygstad @nbtrygstad]

@Ryanair why can’t I check my partner and our infant in? Waited for ages for live chat only to be cut off. Tried in app, on mobile web, on desktop. Nothing works and no help!!! I even managed to check in our ‘extra seat’ for the infant, but not my actual infant. Can you help?!

[Nicholas Trygstad @nbtrygstad]

@TravelodgeUK Hats off to Travelodge! They were able to help me in the end. Thank you!

[Nicholas Trygstad @nbtrygstad]

Oops. Just now I stupidly booked a @TravelodgeUK for tonight when I meant to book it for tomorrow. Realised my mistake immediately and quite disappointed there is no way to cancel or amend….!

[Nicholas Trygstad @nbtrygstad]

@CrossCountryUK Thanks for that. But as HS2 has been axed, what plans are there to increase capacity for this incredibly popular, and essential route?

[Nicholas Trygstad @nbtrygstad]

@CrossCountryUK lovely time on 18:01 from BIR to MAN. So busy I can’t get anywhere near my seat. Why can’t you meet the capacity demand? I do this journey many times a week and it’s like this all the time.

@jjohnstonmezzo Thank you Jennifer!

As we’re all a little tired of endlessly repeating, there is no such thing as “ENO” without the people who actually create the performances. You’re moving a brand-name, not a company in any meaningful sense.

@LPOrchestra @southbankcentre Wish I could hear it! Mark is great with Mahler 3

[The Hallé @the_halle]

Here’s a sneak peek of what’s in store 🤫👀

@jjohnstonmezzo @klausmakela @ConcertgbOrkest @Enescu_Festival @AskonasHolt Absolutely wonderful. Thank you!

[Nicholas Trygstad @nbtrygstad]

@TPExpressTrains @IEJGov I echo the views of other rail users here. Short formed carriages, coupled with the majority of services cancelled on the Man-HUD line make a mockery of your lip-service support for inclusivity.
