All these trains are actually taking the direct route via Burton-on-Trent (how could it be quicker going via Leicester), plus the line is totally closed between Birmingham and Nuneaton today. At least the overall info is correct (apart from the warning symbol being about two irrelevant things)

Technically not an interaction, but I was queueing to buy the Guardian on a ferry to France, was directly behind James Nesbitt, and he bought the last one. For actual interaction – was walking up a mountain in Galway and said hi to Henry Kelly as he passed walking down.

Getting close to the end of this 2025 #TICTeC Amazing work by @mysociety.org team (also a great way to close the event by sharing and providing space to reflect and ask!)

Really happy to be having this conversation, and much needed space for a more skeptical view on AI hype - seeing civic tech as an attitude and philosophy about what kind of society we want to build, rather than filling up a bag of shiny tools. #TICTeC
