So Richard Holden MP you have been granted displaced person status? “Richard Holden, a transport minister who achieved one of the most memorable “red wall” wins in NW Durham, is among those granted displaced status” are you going to stand in Kigali North ?

Outstanding work London North Eastern Railway and Go North East yesterday, Kings Cross to Shotley Bridge 3hr 42mins - superb

Hear hear!

Well what a pleasure today! 16:31 Bristol to Newcastle on your beautiful HST set, so comfortable, nice staff and smooth ride, despite being 5 mins late, I even made my bus home thank you

1/2 Out all day cycling, getting dark does the 20:41 X45 have a bike bay? The Go North East app says no

2/2 so reluctantly locks up bike in Newcastle and catch the Go North East X45 to Consett running 22 mins late and what do I find on board ?

I fully support the Unite the union: join a union action at Go North East but your members leaving a lot of cars on a pavement + a gazebo, is not a good look and terrible if you are disabled or infirm

X66 pulls in to Gateshead Interchange driver gets off closes the doors and walks off, 3 drivers hanging about, nobody knows anything, huge queue left until the next one comes, just another day in Go North East land and only 1 day until an indefinite strike

Yesterday I cycled home from work, 1hr 40min today I got Go North East buses several cancelled, it took me 1hr 50 That’s right an old man cycling uphill in the freezing dark of the Derwent Walk is faster! Are you ever going to return to reliability?

And yet, after yesterday’s shambles Go North East really pulled out the stops this morning, X45 & X66 connected so well, my BetterPoints app logged them as one bus! More like this please

Could Go North East TransPennine Express NORTHERN 🚆 get me from Consett to M’boro for a 08:00 meeting ? Oh yes they could! Great connections, cracking work everybody. But oh NORTHERN 🚆 you might want to clean your trains now and then

How to build a dystopia. Step 1 make it both illegal and dangerous to walk short distances.

On a CrossCountry Trains train in the Yorkshire darkness currently 3hrs 15min late due to a train ahead hitting an animal, I’m not going to get home tonight, last bus in 30mins. 😢 But the crew have been amazing, you should be proud of them.

This trip to Birmingham on CrossCountry Trains has shown the best and worst of the railway, the best - the staff where do I start with the worst ? 1. Would not let me book the 05:26 from Newcastle to Birmingham because the train was “sold out’ so got an anytime ticket.

What do I do? I have an account run by a far right activist supporting Trump and Nazi protesters in Britain, yet is inexplicably used by people I like and companies I rely on. They are just not on threads sadly. The far right has brought the media 😢

In less than 20 years, car culture has destroyed the traditional British suburb, with enormous environmental, social, and political consequences.
