@eurosport @SportsOrla @AdamBlythe89 It has been so good having @LukeRowe1990 on the commentary team and it the breakaway. He has such a lot is technical knowledge and insight along with a real understanding of race craft. I hope he stays for the future especially the TdF.

@GWRHelp Thanks

[Toby Newman @Tobynewman]

@GWRHelp Hi. Is there any chance of getting back to Didcot from Cardiff Central today or do I book a hotel before all the rooms are taken.

[Toby Newman @Tobynewman]

@GWRHelp Now.

[Toby Newman @Tobynewman]

@timbearder maybe you can try and help here.

[Toby Newman @Tobynewman]

@OxfordBusCo Can you clarify if I can use a smart zone ticket on the Arriva 289/X8 service to Wheatley. Your info suggests I can but the driver of the X8 refused me. Ended spending twice as much. @OxfordshireCC if you want us to switch to buses it needs joined up thinking.

[Toby Newman @Tobynewman]

@OxfordBusCo @OxfordshireCC Speaking to others this morning it definitely isn’t the case with paper tickets. @OxfordshireCC can you confirm. We are trying to reduce car travel but it needs coordinating properly

[Toby Newman @Tobynewman]

@OxfordBusCo @OxfordshireCC Well when I scanned it on the arriva bus it was declined!!

POLITICAL GEEK FACT OF THE DAY.

Since 1945 there have been only two prime ministers who have assumed power as a result of a general election and then lost their office due to a general election.

Clement Attlee and Edward Heath.

Astonishing, really.

@_LiamWalker_ Meanwhile in Wheatley, Thame and surrounding villages we are entering our 5th day without water.

[Toby Newman @Tobynewman]

@barnsfunbus I dream of a shower and not having to make a compost toilet in the garden

[Toby Newman @Tobynewman]

@TheOxfordMail @thameswater Still no water in large parts of Wheatley. Many people are now on their fourth day with water. No washing, no toilets, limited cooking. The comms from Thames Water are totally unreliable. We don’t need excuses we need water.

[Toby Newman @Tobynewman]

@thameswater I’ve private messages you. Now 9am Saturday and still no water. Please can we have a reliable indication of when it’ll be back. The constant message of morning, afternoon, evening, morning, afternoon etc makes making plans very difficult. Thinking of spending money on a hotel!

[Toby Newman @Tobynewman]

@arrivatheshires Disappointed that your driver in Wheatley took a left turn at inappropriate speed and was fully on the wrong side of the road. When I asked him to slow down was told to F-off. We want to encourage public transport in Oxford but need professional drivers.

[Toby Newman @Tobynewman]

@BrittanyFerries why is it that we always arrive in plenty of time but are always the last to load?
