Congratulations to my former boss, @LNER chairman and DfT Operator CEO Robin Gisby OBE on his well-deserved recognition in today’s King’s Birthday Honours. From the start of LNER in 2018 through to the end of 2025, Robin encouraged us to ‘Be Bold’, he was consistently supportive of our vision and ambition to create a better railway. He has also been a notable supporter of the important work of @RBF1858 and other railway charities. Thank you and congratulations Robin!

Sat down to watch the BBC Brexshit documentary, Brexit: A Very British Civil War I couldn't stomach all the ppl I still hate smugly telling their stories, all the usual suspects. I think I hate them even more now than I did back then Cameron Osborne Johnsons Cummings(only 2022 footage) Mandelson Farage Banks Carswell 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

"If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it." - Roald Dahl

Richard You say people are voting for Rob with the hope he will not disappear to Westminster. I guess people voted for you Richard to do the same. And to be honest you certainly haven’t been disappearing off to Westminster. No You old boy keep disappearing off to Dubai instead.😉

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began. The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start. Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have. If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Richard 1. No apostrophe in stores. 2. Two tier eggs? A bit like the the two tier tax system: Those who pay and those who say they do but don’t.

Feel free, folks, if you're not all that knowledgeable about railways to run the proposal through your favourite AI assistant. My bet is that it will not differ wildly from my analysis.

No air con, no USB, no catering, just needs GBR to make it worse!

Nigel, is it time for the Campaign Rejecting Asinine Privatisation Posting?

What do you mean you haven’t listened yet ?!! #SaintsFc Come on folks, you’ve got all day left to do it while you’re queuing for a dodgy cash-only car wash ….like me 🤣 Lots of people (five) have asked for a weekly episode through the summer Deal 💪😇😇

With today being the first day of GTR in public ownership,here's a photograph of Great Northern 717s under construction, during a Siemens organised press visit.This, and other pictures made on the day, have proved very popular in my rail picture library. flic.kr/p/2s6Xxuq

LESSER KNOWN FACT ALERT - The hundreds of thousands of coal fires lit across the capital led to copious quantities of ash - known in the trade as ‘dust’ - the men that collected it were therefore known as dustmen - and the name stuck... #eastend #History

Good morning from Appleby where our man Michael is looking after our customers in station and ticket office. Thanks for all you’re doing Michael! @northernassist @SettleCarlisle @setcarrailway

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it. This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect. "Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. 'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth." - Tony Locke
