Nothing like being on a nice, warm Avanti West Coast service. Massive shame NORTHERN 🚆's trains are like fridges due to the severe lack of heaters/heaters that actually work

What is it with TransPennine Express and delays? Delays yesterday and delays again today

Once again, TransPennine Express short form their trains to York. Shambolic. It’s in the lead up to Christmas. Come on, common sense to not short form trains!

MA = lined up. UEA Library and Literature@UEA, missing me?

I don't care if the King does his speech from a Church or a dungeon-I won't be watching it

Makes me laugh that TransPennine Express think that Eaglescliffe has a short platform as ‘only four carriages can fit on the platform’ yet Grand Central Rail can fit five carriages on the same platform and the platform looks long enough for six carriages 🤔

Gearing up for The London Book Fair, 11-13 March 2025 this coming week. Being buried in coursework for uni, it was too last minute for ordering business cards so designing and printing my own leaflets was the next best thing #LBF25

When your hotel room isn’t big enough, the only place your suitcase can go is on the wardrobe. Premier Inn Ravenscourt Park is on my list of hotels to not stay at again
