No one gets a free ride whether left, centre or right.
I think it’s an honour to suggest I’m a propagandist. You clearly haven’t seen my timeline.
Let me have some fun, Dan.
My grandfather used to work in advertising for British Rail (North East). He lined the floors on his house with these billboard posters which have been preserved perfectly underneath the linoleum!

As a railway manager, I have every hope in my colleagues abilities to sort out the incident at

.
However, I call on the enthusiast and media communities to avoid jumping to conclusions or listening to rumours.

Just about every plant-based milk has a massive impact on third world countries and the environment.
Why aren’t you screaming about that?
@grantshapps
We already have a massive HQ that was custom built for the railways and those staff have been fully trained. It’s in Milton Keynes. Are you suggesting that we rid ourselves of that asset and all of the knowledge there?

Everyone complaining about a lack of representation for heterosexual people:
These trains have been a pasty white colour for the best half of 18 months and over that time they became slightly BEIGE.

No. These words are used to convey emotion. If we didn’t use them, we’d have no way of expressing how much emotion we feel.
If you’re feeling offended by them, then perhaps you need to expand your understanding of the situation and how people feel about it.
Today’s 4S43 Daventry - Mossend ‘Tesco Express’ is the longest it’s ever been with 21 containers - all for stocking shelves during
#CoronavirusLockdown
It’s also out performing itself - due to priority, one colleague says it’s running like “a scalded cat”.

Wrong.
⚠️ Corona is affecting 0.7% population as of today (30/12/2020)
⚠️ 3% of the population have tested positive since March
⚠️ These figures are likely to be higher due to people failing to be tested.
⚠️ Deniers, anti-vax and anti-maskers are more likely to spread it.

We’ve not met, but I follow you as you’re in the industry. You’re always smiling in your photos and it’s sad to read that people want spoil your joy.
Never stop being you, you’re a breath of fresh air on here ✌️

Great British Railways 🇬🇧 will need a home.
Today I'm announcing that we will be launching a competition to find the town or city that will become home to the new rail body and the future capital of our railway industry.
WE'VE WON £1.05 BN OF GOVT CASH TO IMPROVE TRANSPORT IN THE WM
This means:
🚉More new railway stations
🚌More bus improvements
🚈More Metro stops
🚲More cycling infrastructure
🔌More EV charging points
All part of my plan to give the WM the transport network it deserves!

I still remember watching the 2016 Nintendo E3 presentation that sadly opened with a minute silence announced by Reggie Fils-Aime. Grimmie was going to be performing but was murdered 2 days before. A young woman on the upward swing of her career gunned down by some freak.

I’m in a high class restaurant which has the Bee Gees ‘You should be Dancing’ in the background. And I’ve just read this letter.
What is reality anymore?

I’d like a centralised rail body that says ‘no’ to interfering politicians and presses on with the good stuff delivered by experts.
If you’re going to make a New Years resolution, I’d recommend joining a union.
Because if you’re in the railway industry, it looks like we’ve got a few kinks in the rails.
If anyone tells you that
#HS2
will never bring any profit and will only be used by business directors - point them towards this pamphlet from 1989.
We made Intercity work and we’ll make HS2 work.
Tweet me your Western Region timetable queries and I’ll send you a journey back from 1955.
Curious about Calne? Hard on Chard? Maybe Moretonhampstead? Want to investigate Ilfracombe? Pondering Pontypool?
All queries considered today!

Their borders were closed, so they couldn’t blame migrants for poor ministerial decisions. Therefore they’ve just launched a blame campaign on LGBTQ+ people.

I disagree. Instead, I believe there is no middle class.
You either work for your money (Working Class) or your money works for you (Upper Class).
Middle Class was a buzzword created to disillusion people.

Govt to nationalise rail passenger services.
Highly profitable freight, rolling stock companies (ROSCOs) to remain private. Why?
ROSCOs based in Luxembourg, funded from public purse, profit margin 41.6%, paid £2.7bn dividend, no UK tax on that.
Minister didn't answer questions
Today, around 18,500t of goods have been moved over the northern section of the WCML as freight serves the country. A normal day for freight, but a big thank you to everyone involved in today’s operation. 👍
