@northernassist And I can't get compensation for my tech because of the mythical replacement bus that was not announced to passengers?

@northernassist apparently it's safe to get five trains' worth of rush hour people in one train - when they resume?

Well @northernassist I'm in a taxi after all Leeds - Saltaire trains were cancelled. I was told very rudely by someone on your 'helpline' that the rail replacement bus was running. This was never announced. The info point said 'maybe one bus went'

This is a condensed version of a longer poem about #jellyfish for 'poems about #invertebrates' this @TopTweetTuesday (and I couldn't resist including a picture by Nicol Stolze via Pixabay). With thanks to @ITattum for hosting today. Can't wait to see what #poetry comes up!

Hullo @ITattum lovely to see you at the helm for @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday Garn! I’m off shortly to take my son back to university for his 2nd year, so apologies, it’s another post and run today. I will catch up with all the fun tomorrow. Enjoy the day!
