Just when you thought @SW_Help south west trains couldn’t get any more stupid, they go and surpass themselves. A full train has to make an operational stop at Basingstoke to get back on their timetable slot. Told not to get off. But a truck load of more passengers get on!

[Neil Harris @neil207]

@4jenko4 @SW_Help decided to try and send three ticket inspectors through the train as well. Even though you had to have a ticket to get through the barrier. And you can’t move out of their way. What will come first, Arsenal finally winning the league or the end of their franchise? Oh…

[Neil Harris @neil207]

My last post was about a bad experience with the trains @SW_Help - I thought I would try them again today. Big mistake. A 75 minute outward journey from Grateley took 195 minutes making me 2 hours late. 1/2

[Neil Harris @neil207]

@SW_Help Then maybe redeploy some resources so that the trains you know will be busy have some priority. It’s almost like you want me to use you as the example in my Economics lessons of the problems of a monopoly becoming lazy and failing to provide a good service. Oh wait…I already do

@butlerd101 I hear the first two constantly, especially from pastoral and SEN staff.

@TTRadioOfficial A Level Economics is difficult.
A Level Business is easy.

@dog_gem @SW_Help The 2305 was far from the last train yesterday, with trains running for at least another 90 minutes.

Train drivers - recruit, train, retain, negotiate with them. All options

[Neil Harris @neil207]

Another ridiculous failure of planning by the idiots at @SW_Help this morning on the 10:17 from Basingstoke to Dachau…I mean Waterloo.

Cattle are transported and treated with more dignity than the passengers on this train.

@GWRHelp But this isnt a replacement train and there wasn’t a fault. This is just a laughable and woeful mismatch of the demand for seats and the supply of them. Anyone would think that this was done on purpose just to save money

[Neil Harris @neil207]

@GWRHelp should feel thoroughly embarrassed by the overcrowding on 13:12 train from Westbury to Cardiff. There is barely standing room. How can they think that 3 coaches is enough? It’s not a secret that there is a Wales game on today and we are jammed full and only in Trowbridge

@StefanNovak96 @bankofengland Did you hear that QE of £475bn was bound to have an effect?

[Neil Harris @neil207]

@StefanNovak96 @bankofengland Did you hear the cpi inflation was 2% in Jul 21, some 18 months after Covid started?

[Neil Harris @neil207]

@bankofengland You had one job to do. Keep inflation at 2%. You were even given a margin of error of 1% either side. What happened? It wasn’t Russia invading Ukraine - prices were rising months before that

[South Wilts Grammar School @southwiltsgram]

Year 12 #Enterprise generated a profit of £553 this year, despite the limitations on their usual activities caused by Covid, selling essential oil, plants and jewellery. They donated their profits to @HoratiosGarden who will be using the money to support their Art Therapy project

@sioneill10 @IamalrightJack Only by ignorant people. And that isn’t a reason not to do it

[Neil Harris @neil207]

@IamalrightJack @Djentyboi I don’t believe it’s an absolute truth. I’m showing how it’s been shown to be correct in this case, straight away. Genuinely funny that you think that the treat of being blocked is effective. Usually the last resort of the one who has lost the argument.
