@jameslaverty @Translink_NI Seems to be. I don't check twitter, it's literally my customer support app...

[Stan Jewhurst @StanJewhurst]

Thanks @Translink_NI for my 25m wait in the freezing cold for a bus that didn't show. It's 2024, you have millions for a new "transport hub" but you can't get an IT team to design a progressive web app which updates when busses are cancelled?

[Stan Jewhurst @StanJewhurst]

@Translink_NI As an IT consultant w/ experience in transport systems I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that this problem can be solved with technology and an update of process. Apologies are great and thank you for that but they don't solve problems - and you're the only transport provider!

[Stan Jewhurst @StanJewhurst]

@Translink_NI 518a 1600 from Ballynahinch high. The hidden service notification on the website states it was cancelled. Would be good to understand why

[Stan Jewhurst @StanJewhurst]

@AerLingus Thanks for the response. It's disappointing that a local Irish company such as yourselves would hide behind a web form. It's not the way here, and it was very disappointing that no one would try and understand our issues last night either, and instead remained defensive.

[Stan Jewhurst @StanJewhurst]

Absolutely horrendous experience with @AerLingus tonight on #EI413. Plane was covered in rubbish when boarded (which we were accused of dropping), staff were inattentive and downright rude at times, and the pilot bald faced lied about baggage being loaded onto the plane.

@HMRCcustomers Thanks Steve. I was told I had been deregistered for self assessment but the reason I was calling back was because the system wouldn't update quickly enough for the payments to be removed without a callback. I'll look into getting that form completed.

[Stan Jewhurst @StanJewhurst]

On hold for an hour with @HMRCgovuk and they cut me off while I waited patiently. And yet if I don't pay my tax bill, I'm the one who goes to jail. Fantastic customer service guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Stan Jewhurst @StanJewhurst]

@HMRCcustomers Yes there are two charges for Jan 24 and Jul 24 which need removed. And the payment due for 22-23 I want to pay through my tax codr

[Stan Jewhurst @StanJewhurst]

@HMRCcustomers Amend

[Stan Jewhurst @StanJewhurst]

@HMRCcustomers Fully submitted. The last time I called we got me deregistered for self assessment next year but needed to call back to send the bill

[Stan Jewhurst @StanJewhurst]

@BELFASTCITY_AIR hi folks - I'm trying to book parking on your website & it's refusing my payment. No error is displayed. My card verification passes. There are no contact numbers. I can't DM as apparently I need to pay for twitter to message you. Could someone please reach out?

[Stan Jewhurst @StanJewhurst]

@BELFASTCITY_AIR So I had a look when I was down today dropping off. The new pick up point isn’t signposted anywhere. Even the sign for passengers leaving the airport points to the right. Only the express zone is signposted from the road.

[Stan Jewhurst @StanJewhurst]

Dear @BELFASTCITY_AIR. What the actual hell. If you’ve not been to the airport in a while, it’s an absolutely nightmare. £3.00 for 10 min pick up? What are we meant to, get out visitors to walk onto the dual carriageway?! Absolutely outrageous and unnecessary

[Stan Jewhurst @StanJewhurst]

@BELFASTCITY_AIR But if it takes 10 minutes to walk there, how on earth are we meant to figure out the time to arrive, if flights are late on stand. I live 30m away, I can’t check arrival details when I’m driving

[Steve Rolles @SteveTransform]

Recent @scotgov calls for decriminalisation of drug possession have provoked a tediously predictable uptick in attempts to discredit Portugal's famous 2001 decrim reforms, (with echoes of similar recent efforts in Ireland & the USA)

It's worth digging into this a bit
