Trains...rarely travel these days as I mostly work from home, but in Birmingham today for Midlands Kidney Patient Steering Group, so got a train rather than drive. Return trains delayed, 5 carriages short or cancelled. #NationaliseTheRailways
Good old @eastmidsrailway.bsky.social. The bus replacement from Loughborough to Leicester was a minibus which only took 16 people. The rest of us are now waiting an hour for some taxis. Might get home by 2am. #NationaliseTheRailways
I shall wait with unbated breath for the now publicly owned SW Railways to do the same. I mean, it should be a no-brainer for a Labour administration right, Starmer?

Should be back in Leicester by now. The coach is just pulling up to East Midlands Parkway.
#NationaliseTheRailways
Train back cancelled, a very long coach ride back. Fuck @eastmidsrailway.bsky.social & #NationaliseTheRailways
Iβm on my way home from London on the train.
Mass transit is fucking AWESOME π€
The tube got a billion people home from the O2 last night, hundreds at a time, and travelling by train is a joy when it works and you can afford it.

And expand public transport in rural areas.

@crosscountryuk.bsky.social another glorious triumph for your capacity planning processes as a 3 carriage rattler sets off from Birmingham for Nottingham. #nationalisetherailways

A guide to making ye olde British Rail sandwich.
Youβre welcome.

This East Midlands Railway journey is on a train that's newer and cleaner than the last one (that's not saying much) but really stinks of diesel fumes.
Smells like an old stink-box power boat from the 80s.
Feel a bit π€’
