Amid horrific violence it is clear the LNER train crew acted with incredible professionalism and bravery. The actions of the injured guard were heroic, and the coordination with blue lights to get to the best place for help to reach passengers was vital. Full respect for these workers. 🙏👏

You for some reason hate public transit and would never take it? Ok, but what if our taxes made it high quality, leading to more people abandoning their cars and utilizing it, freeing up the open road for you to more easily commute by car?

Yeah, it's that simple.
