This is unacceptable, my solidarity with @DavidLammy and all MPs, who are just trying to do what they believe is best for our country. If you don’t like them, use your vote. There is no excuse for abuse.

I regularly receive threats of violence, get called a "nigger", told to "go home" or that I can't be English because of my skin. I won't stop speaking out. I will never let the thugs win. But social media companies must do more to stop threats and abuse.

I remember Luton at home. I changed at Coventry and jumped on a packed train full of Luton fans. I was on my own, they treated me like one of their own (told me I now hate Watford, fair enough). I'm so so happy for them. Great club, great fans. Enjoy the top tier! #ltfc #ccfc

One thing that will ALWAYS amaze me is a train drivers route knowledge. Hurtling along at 125mph using nothing but landmarks and signals, and being able to stop an 11 car train bang on the stop market at a train station.

I do find it ironic that my MP is complaining over a single cancellation (yes one cancelled train at that time of day). Yet when I emailed her about my concerns regarding the May 2022 timetable she did absolutely nothing about it and now I have to travel 100 miles a day to work.

Tonight’s hot take: Ryanair are not a bad airline and arguably they’re perhaps one of the best in Europe. People just want more for less. You can literally go to Ibiza for like £30 if you wanted to.

VSTP 5D82 20:05 Preston to Central Rivers. Despite the doors not being opened, it’s mandatory RA at Birmingham New St which means if the train comes to a stand, the platform staff must give authority for the train to leave.
