Really pleased to have contributed to this article. It would simply be unfair if #localgov was to suffer any consequences from current public audit delays.

For the second week running CrossCountry Trains can only muster 5 coaches to get from Penzance to Edinburgh so yet again over £100 buys me space on the floor by the loo. Have to wonder if the company is aware or even cares about customers.

My first analysis of #localgov 22/23 accounts. Only a third published but enough to pick out signs of financial stress across the sector.

Just finished watching on @eurosport app. What a stage - just as exciting as any of the mens' stages! Love that coverage including Breakaway is equal to that of the mens'. Hope that Katarzyna Niewiadoma retains her place on podium after tomorrow's TT.

Brilliant!! Remember you introducing the Carbon Zero Strategy about five years ago (learnt a bit about ducks 🦆 that day!). A well deserved recognition of how Lancaster City Council is making a huge leap towards zero carbon. #ClimateEmergency

As we look towards this month’s Autumn Statement, it is clear the sector needs it and the settlement to respond to #localgovt's challenges, says TracyBingham151. ➡️bit.ly/45QPAHP

Hi GWR - if I promise to run between platforms at Exeter St David’s, what’s the chance of you holding the 19.42 Oke train for 2 mins so passengers on the delayed Penzance train can transfer? Don’t fancy 90 mins on a cold platform!

Barely above freezing, Devon roads covered in shit (literally!) and a good stone above my fighting weight! But still the best feeling!! #fromwhereiride #Dartmoor

How can you justify charging what you do CrossCountry Trains for a 4 hour stand between Derby and Exeter. You must know 4 carriages is not sufficient? Genuine question Mark Harper Louise Haigh Wera Hobhouse MP 🔶 🇺🇦 - what will you do about it? #crosscountry #overcrowding

Just back from Vietnam where we got a night train from Hanoi to Hue. A 14 hour journey on a seriously old train! But it got us there on time! Arrived at Heathrow this morning and GWR have cancelled not only our train but the one after. Now getting home two hours late!
