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!

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.
🚆Another train to London cancelled by
@AvantiWestCoast
this morning. The level of service is truly unacceptable. I will be speaking further with colleagues in Westminster and I will continue to outline concerns with the Government until residents have the services they deserve.
PLEASE hurry up and get some more voyagers to CrossCountry. 20+ passengers left behind and it’s only Stoke-on-Trent with two more stops to go before the train is strengthened at Birmingham.
Cracking journey on the newly refurbished

. The seats are decent, don’t let photos deceive you. The shop is amazing, TikTok will be out tonight!
Just been offered a six month secondment as an Ops Controller, which I of course accepted.
Dates are all to be negotiated as I'm in a safety critical role, but I am very excited & grateful for this next chapter in my life.

There’s two types of contract at my place. 7 hour shifts on a 5 day week or 8 hours 45 on a 4 day week. I’m on the latter and it’s so much better.
That’s it, last train has left the station. We got a Merry Christmas call from the signal box which was nice. That’s me done until Monday.
Merry Christmas everyone 🎄
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.
Had the best news today. Going back to full time Ops Controller.
I quote my friend who is a driver: “Oh ****, here we go with them mad shunts”
VSTP man is back 😍😍
In my job you make a lot of temporary friends, them being passengers. People you get to know but then may never see again. I once met this lovely woman who was off to Manchester for a few consecutive days. Never saw her again, until today. She's lives on my road 😂😂
Honestly that was amazing. It’s been a shit 12 months with losing my Dad but
@elliegoulding
’s music has always given me strength. So happy to finally see her live again, roll on Birmingham on Wednesday.
@jogideon
Jo, tell your mates in office to allow Avanti to negotiate with their crew instead of holding them back and adding stupid conditions and I promise you this whole thing will be resolved by Christmas. It's not Avanti who are the problem, it's your Government. Roll on the GE!
Thanks to my friends who checked up on me. Unfortunately my Dad is seriously ill with what looks to be Covid-19. His body is not improving and today I was asked to go say goodbye. Please take this virus seriously. I’m heartbroken.
I know enthusiasts don’t like them but they are here and they are the future. These new tickets drastically decrease ticket fraud. Every TOC that uses them prefers them.
I had to ring Eurostar control today, I don't know why I was so surprised when they answered the phone in French.. I felt a but stupid when I was like "Oh hi, is this Eurostar?" 😂
They were very lovely though.
Mental health assessment booked for next week. The road to recovery begins now. No more suffering, I deserve better than this and so do the people around me. ❤️
Todays train manager “please can everyone move their luggage from seats, not every disability is visible and someone might need that seat.”
Bravo,

All change please, all change. From Monday I’ll start my training as a Route Controller! But don’t worry, I’ll still keep the Ops competency so there’ll still be funky VSTP’s, just less of them! 🚂
Unfortunately Dad lost his battle today, I really appreciate everyone being so lovely and sending their support. He was a big part of my life and I'll miss him, but will do everything in my power to make him proud.
We adopted little Ezra only three weeks ago and fell in love instantly. But unfortunately our time together was short. Last weekend Ezra got very sick and we discovered a tumour and it was already too late. Rest in peace to our favourite boy 💜😔

As you said, the
@aircadets
are part of the Royal Air Force and it's an honour to wear that uniform. Her life will be better for the experiences she will gain from the ATC and like many, she will leave the Corps as a more mature, more qualified person.
Rumours are spreading that the DfT is considering scraping the TPE franchise altogether, combining it with the already Government controlled Northern service.
Since
@grantshapps
increased the amount of hours HGV drivers can drive to help with the shortage of drivers, I’ve seen a lot more railway bridges being struck by lorries.
Coincidence? 🤔
Idk how to say this but uhhh yeah, I am pansexual. My love is not limited to one gender but rather the individual.
Happy pride, be kind to one another ❤️
I had to say goodbye to Bella last night. She was always such a big part of my life and I loved posting her here. I’ll miss sharing her with you all, and I’ll miss her so much.
