@unitedutilities I rang yesterday morning (Saturday 09/05) to report this water leak. It’s in Holmes Chapel, CW4 7AU. Millions of gallons of clean will have flowed down the drain. It’s an absolute disgrace to not have been fixed as a priority!

Hey @unitedutilities thanks for sorting out the water leak. Is there any chance you could also clear up the muck that’s left in the road drain at some point please? aAny sort of rainfall and it’ll just pool here as this is the lowest point on the junction. Thank you.

This morning we captured our first look at the freshly liveried @chilternrailway MK5 loco hauled stock, as the @RailOpsGroup operated driver training program continued with another outing from Eastleigh. We really REALLY like this one...

On the way into work, back from the dead #82220 leads a @tfwrail loco hauled service for Cardiff. Just a reminder that other @225groupuk trains are about 😉

People of 🇬🇧, what is your obsession with Lane 2 and 3 of a Motorway when Lane 1 is completely empty?
