@McWhirterAlex @AvantiWestCoast Alas I’m on an open return ticket that doesn’t offer me a booked seat. Was visiting my very elderly mother and there’s never any certainty about which train I’ll catch to get home

[robert mendick @rmendick]

The world’s worst train company just keeps getting… worse. I’ve paid £113 for a return ticket to Manchester but it’s standing room only and I’ve now been charged an extra £40 for the luxury of what’s known as a seat. It’s all too depressing @AvantiWestCoast

[robert mendick @rmendick]

@ChimeraX2021 @AvantiWestCoast You’re completely right and I’m totally wrong. I’m very happy to pay more than £150 for the world’s worst train service. Apologies for raising it. But are you @AvantiWestCoast in disguise?

[robert mendick @rmendick]

@ChimeraX2021 @AvantiWestCoast Are you Avanti in disguise?

[robert mendick @rmendick]

@AvantiWestCoast have offered me their sympathy. But what I’d really like is my £40 back. Come on Avanti I know you have it in you to hand back my hard earned cash. Hashtag give seats a chance…

[robert mendick @rmendick]

@AvantiWestCoast The argument that other people have paid more is nonsense by the way. Since everyone in this carriage has been forced to do the same

[robert mendick @rmendick]

@AvantiWestCoast What I’d like is to be reimbursed £40.

[robert mendick @rmendick]

@AvantiWestCoast Been forced to upgrade and pay for it. No alternative since I can’t stand for two hours in a corridor

Somehow I’ve been shortlisted for Journalist of the Year with this roster of trade legends.

Grateful to the ST and aware it's a huge luxury to have the time to pursue original in-depth journalism.

The legend that is Mick Brown has called me ‘great’. I’ll take that but the truth is what’s great is our podcast. Third episode out now and final one by the end of the week. The compelling story of one of the world’s most wanted men, how we caught him and what happened next…

Episode 3 of The Diamond King is available now - and it's the most enthralling yet. How the great @rmendick and I caught India's most wanted man https://t.co/COg9XRoI7S

This is a brilliant read from the brilliant @mickbrownwriter. Me and Mick caught one of the world’s most wanted men and we’ve done a podcast to prove it. Episode two is out now and, even if I say so myself, it’s rather good https://t.co/YiuKRQkhJO

The second episode of The Diamond King: How Indian billionaire Nirav Modi’s empire came crashing down, is out today. £1.3 billion has vanished. And so has Modi... Listen now nowhttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/07/10/the-diamond-king-nirav-modi-alleged-india-bank-fraud/

This is Kingsley, the uber driver taking me, lucky me, to the stadium in Atlanta for today’s semi-final. He’s a wise man. England need to win this World Cup to lay to rest the ghosts that have dogged a nation for 60 years, he tells me

[robert mendick @rmendick]

I did this podcast with the legendary @mickbrownwriter. We found one of the world’s most wanted men seven years ago. But that wasn’t the end of the story. Just the beginning. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as me and Mick enjoyed making it https://t.co/UOzHp2RokT

[Mick Brown @mickbrownwriter]

The Diamond King, a new 4-part podcast looking at the dramatic rise and fall of Nirav Modi, the Indian diamantaire, accused of a £1.3 billion fraud, and presented by Robert Mendick and myself, will be available tomorrow. Here's a taster
