I am autistic and into trains/railway history. Also music.

@158820ATW @northernassist Interesting livery, I like it. 😊🚂

@158820ATW The seating layout of the Northern 150 trains is terrible. Class 156 trains are much more comfortable.

@NowisRicky @chilternrailway I like the idea of a quiet zone. That would make rail travel much easier for me.

Absolutely shocked to hear about the incident that occurred on a train in the Huntingdon area earlier tonight...

My thoughts are with everyone involved and hope anyone affected makes a full recovery.

It's NEVER okay to cause harm to others regardless of the reason behind it.

Waitrose-rejected autistic worker gets Asda offer https://t.co/ZNDcbSwv1L

[Rachel 💚 ♿ 🌍 @ChasingGlimmers]

It's not ok to expect people with Learning Disabilities or Autism to work for free. Tom has clocked up over 900 hours working for @waitrose unpaid. When his family asked for him to be paid they stopped his shifts. Don't we have laws about this?! https://t.co/tPKWgiAy6C

🚨WAITROSE AXES VOLUNTEER WITH SEVERE AUTISM

This is an awful story

Tom Boyd has severe autism but he enjoys stacking shelves so he offered to do it for free at his local Waitrose.

They let him work for SIX HUNDRED HOURS UNPAID over FOUR YEARS

His family asked could he be paid going forward because he's doing such a great job and WAITROSE TOLD HIM TO LEAVE

@waitrose have a heart for christ sake!

The lad is clearly doing a decent job or you wouldn't have had him be your slave for the past 4 years

GIVE TOM A JOB!!!

[⚽Russell Cox💙 @RussWWFC]

@AndyBurnhamGM @waitrose Vile, immoral, scumbag company.

They make shedloads and yet are happy to use slave labour. But when the person who has given them four years of Labour for free falls on hard times and wants a bit of money, they boot him out.

Reprehensible.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Truly terrible treatment of Tom by @waitrose.

1. We will support him to find another placement that works. 👍🏻

2. We would encourage all employers, including Waitrose, to sign up our brand new Bee Neuroinclusive Code of Practice.👇🏻
