Transport research, customer experience, organisational change, big data and a healthy dose of nonsense.

@DuncanStott No, there are plenty of instances where services like that have been created. The bigger issue is probably capacity between Oxford and Didcot, which also hindes frequent services to Culham.

How the Conservative MP Peter Bone, who consistently voted against gay rights and labeled equal marriage as "completely nuts", acted in private towards one of his male aides.

@jonwillchambers And the two main examples they use (Napier and Stirling) have a significant number of freshers who are under 18.

@TheCumbercat It's such weird, cowardly, underhand behaviour from people who should be spending that time with a qualified therapist.

@jonsiva_ The sleeper heading back to the depot.

@PjFee She is 50% of my Instagram reels feed. OBSESSED.

@seatsixtyone I understand from Spanish colleagues that, previously, RENFE's fare stucture was less flexible that the Aer Bridge offering, so a lot of people would use the train outbound in the morning, then fly home at night.

@davidchild @alice And it has so many carve outs (to protect global connectivity) that's is actually just a meaninless piece of political theatre people should question before praising. I guarantee these cities will have flights to CDG for the forseeable future.

@SouthLondonGirl @curlywurlyfi @davidchild @CybillLiberty @icod @InterestingNick David struggles to bend down and close the door on the detergent holder, what with him being ancient and ready for the knackers yard.

@curlywurlyfi @davidchild @CybillLiberty @icod @InterestingNick Why am I, again, being looped into another discussion with simple people who own basic dishwashers?

@jamesofputney My god, the level of typos...

[Rory Maxwell @rorymaxwell]

@jamesofputney That's the web today, no? Search for something simple on Google, say, a Hotel, and the first five links are thrid-parties disguised as the hotel's on site. Almost every result, for say "how to cook X in a air fryer" is utter dross.

[Rory Maxwell @rorymaxwell]

@jamesofputney Airmail is great for fast triage on a phone during the commute, but the integration with other apps is also less slick than they’d have you believe.

[Rory Maxwell @rorymaxwell]

@jamesofputney Hey does take some effort to set up in the early weeks and I’m not convinced the Feed category works as well as it’s meant to. You also have to work to remove accounts that creep back in as you sign up/buy things.

[Rory Maxwell @rorymaxwell]

@japster2008 Oh, it’s awful. I came down that line from Glasgow yesterday and was almost driven to distraction trying to work. Oddly, took the East Coast back to Edinburgh today and it’s much better, despite being far more remote for much of the route.

[Rory Maxwell @rorymaxwell]

@seatsixtyone Apparently, they do.

[Rory Maxwell @rorymaxwell]

@seatsixtyone Do you know if the restrictions are remaining the same (e.g., no Nozomi)?

[Rory Maxwell @rorymaxwell]

@seatsixtyone I suspect it's more that the British Pullman can be used more profitably independent of VSOE; the London-Venice fare will, I'm certain, remain the remain the same (or increase) and it frees up the Pullman set for more charters.

[Rory Maxwell @rorymaxwell]

@lickedspoon @AnnalisaB It's back up now that he's been convicted.
