Bus driver, whose bus got brushed by a car after driver failed to check their mirror, complains to a fellow bus driver. “Nobody in Cambridge knows how to cross the street, ride a bike or drive a car!” 😳🫣🥴 #Cambridge #busdriver #Cambridgedriving #Cambridgecyclists #Cambridgepedestrians

Massive delays on the East Coast line this afternoon due to an incident. More than doubled travel time. Fortunately, staff on this @lner.co.uk train has been fab. Keeping us informed. And fed. 🤓

I could see from my train window the glorious full moon rising on the horizon. Tried taking a snapshot. The camera sees my reflection on the window instead. Silly me. 🤪

Due to an incident, there’s rail travel ‘chaos’ affecting the north east of England today. But staff of @lner.co.uk on board 18:29 train towards London has been fab. When you typically just hear dead silence, we receive regular updates. And even if there was nothing update, you hear reassurance. 🤗

What can happen on East Coast rail travel on a benign weather? Let me count the ways. First, a delayed train arrival at Newcastle due to an earlier ‘failure’.

It’s been a long while since I’ve been to #PaddingtonStation. So I missed the great transformation around the Praed St main entrance.
