Times are tougher than ever for many. Can you help keep vulnerable people living with HIV and their families safe and fed this winter? @TheFoodChain does amazing work but doesn’t receive statutory income to do so - anything you can give can and will make a difference.

Can you help with our Winter Food Drive? Any donation greatly appreciated to help us support vulnerable members of our community this winter. Scan the QR code below, or click on https://t.co/d7nAIm2Alz to our Go Fund Me appeal. Thank you.

@SW_Help Thank you!

[Mark @sparkly]

Cheers to the guard for trying to clean up but this train is an absolute disgrace @SW_Help - drink cans everywhere and looks like people have either emptied them or urinated over the seats. Really unacceptable for passengers! This is the 2135 WAT-WEY.

Hi @SouthernWater you’re loudly digging up Brookley Road SO42 overnight but you haven’t given any notice or information to residents. Why are these works necessary / don’t residents matter enough to be given basic information / warning of overnight works?

[Mark @sparkly]

@SW_Help My husband and I have both received automated Tap2Go account closure initiation emails, but neither of us has requested this. Do you know if there’s an issue / glitch?

[Mark @sparkly]

@SW_Help @_Railcards Yes but not clear how I renew my National Railcard discount for my Tap2Go account that way? Sorry!

[Mark @sparkly]

Hi @_Railcards @SW_Help I need to update the railcard details on my smart card account, but it’s a digital railcard and the Railcard app blocks me from screenshotting it. How do I get a copy I can upload to the SWR website?

@BIforPeace @IrelandInEU @dfatirl Like every nation, it has its issues.
Unlike other nations, it also has respect for human dignity and is a country where it is not a criminal offence to take part in a Pride parade.

[Mark @sparkly]

As a gay Irishman, can I ask @IrelandInEU @dfatirl to refer Hungary for breaching Art 2 TFEU by its recent prohibition on pride, undermining human dignity and rights in a manner unbecoming of an EU member state?

[Mark @sparkly]

@BIforPeace @IrelandInEU @dfatirl 1) As an EU citizen, adherence to the fundamental rights that underpin the EU is very much my - and every EU citizen’s - business. We stand together, we fall together.

2) What a very odd take. I suggest visiting Ireland to see firsthand what nonsense you’re espousing.

Hi @British_Airways I requested a paid seating Avios refund from you in November 2024 after you cancelled my flights, but haven’t received any case updates since my original request. Is that normal and how long do I need to wait for this to be actioned?

[Mark @sparkly]

Hi @SW_Help are there issues with your Lymington - Brockenhurst bus replacement? Four of us have been stood at the bus stop for the last 15 minutes with no sight of a service. It’s also below freezing and there’s no shelter at the stop.

[Mark @sparkly]

Once again, lovely to see @limebike making our wheelchair neighbour unable to leave their house. #shame

[Mark @sparkly]

Welcome to the UK proclaim the signs at @HeathrowAirport while the men’s toilets at T5A Arrivals near Belt 11 are overflowing with excrement and urinals leaking all over the floor. Welcome indeed.

[Mark @sparkly]

This is hilarious (read, disaster!). First @Fullers in my life I’ve been to where they’ve set up a breakfast spread in the middle of the pub in full on Friday night traffic. Not sure who means less - Friday punters or Saturday breakfasters?

[Mark @sparkly]

In fairness, Ashruti from live chat was fantastic when I eventually got through - but the wait and inability to self solve via MMB / complete lack of info re options is unacceptable, @British_Airways

[Mark @sparkly]

As a customer @British_Airways customer svcs even poorer than I could imagine. Booking cancelled with no alternatives via MMB. Live chat just says it’s too busy. Customer service line said the same and hung up on me. BAEC line has me in a queue - over 30 mins waiting so far. 😳

[Mark @sparkly]

Hi @British_Airways what’s your current complaint processing turnaround? I’m still waiting for a response to a complaint I made in February and this is all I can get from your system!

[Mark @sparkly]

Hi @SW_Help more than 20 passengers were sent from Clapham J to Woking by your staff to catch the next Bournemouth train. It’s just gone straight through and hasn’t stopped and the next train isn’t for an hour - what are we supposed to do now?

[Mark @sparkly]

@SouthernRailUK We’re also en route now … thanks Scottie.

[Mark @sparkly]

Your platform staff just said we’re now the 2201. Again. No announcement.

[Mark @sparkly]

@SouthernRailUK Hi, the 2131 ex LBG? We’re sitting here … national rail suggests we’re skipping stops. Nobody has told anyone on board anything.

[Mark @sparkly]

@SouthernRailUK Can’t argue with that Scottie, and sorry if my original tweet came across unpleasantly (not intended, but see how it would have, sorry!) - just frustrated re lack of info on original train.
