Looking at trains from Sheffield to Reading tomorrow evening. National Rail says there's a CrossCountry service leaving SHF at 17.56, changing at Brum and arriving RDG 21.39 They direct me to LNER website to buy tickets. The CrossCountry app/website does not list this CrossCountry service!!

Less than 24 hours ago, CrossCountry did not know that they would be running this train. It still isn't listed on their website if you search for Sheffield to Birmingham. But it is if you search for Plymouth.

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House. Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cufM...

The duchy of Cornwall is publicly-owned. By law, duchy profits go to 'prince' William Windsor. Let's change that law! Send duchy profits to the Treasury, and pay William a modest stipend & expenses for the few hours he 'works'. #CutRoyalPay

If you fancy the longer, scenic route from Doncaster to Peterborough, you can go via Lincoln with EMR. Here is the train at Spalding, which I travelled down from Doncaster on.

Been speaking with Aaron Paul on BBC London about parking enforcement fines going up for first time in 13 years. 🚶🏽‍♀️‍➡️ 👨🏽‍🦯‍➡️ 👩‍🦽‍➡️Parking rules exist to keep our streets safe and to let people use dropped kerbs and cross the road safely. 👮🏼‍♀️ Fines need to cover the cost of enforcement and deter bad parking.

Hilarious that no matter where in the world there is a rejigging of resources & priority away from private cars towards mass transit or active travel there is a predictable backlash which starts with mass transit is stinky, unsafe and then quickly progressed to mass transit is for the elites.

We see that in our work. We've had lots on how cycle lanes are only for lycra-clad commuting men, how families cycling is a middle class leisure pursuit, that Disabled people don't cycle and recently that only delivery riders use cycle lanes (with a hint of their safety being unimportant).

The corporate colours of British Rail looking amazing on the this class 86. The bare cab front end, with no additional jumper cables, and lack of headlight just gives it such a clean and uncluttered appearance. #Class86 #AL6 #BritishRail #RailBlue
