How does a public railway employ MORE staff but run FEWER trains? 🚩 SWR is failing its 2% cancellation target (currently 4.6%) in part due to crew shortages & training backlogs. What’s the plan @Heidi_Labour? AND When will the FULL timetable be restored? @SW_Help #SWRWatch

It is clear that @Heidi_Labour cannot run a railway…..

The rudest woman working for state owned (serving the people not the shareholders) @SW_Help - platform 5/6 at Waterloo this evening so 19:35. Could not explain why trains are skipping stations if they are five minutes late. Let’s ask the controller @Heidi_Labour

Thanks newly nationalised @SW_Help Two successive trains from Richmond to CLJ have been cancelled. One will go straight through. This is the nationalised railway for the passengers not the shareholders, @Heidi_Labour

I have just watched the @BBCLondonNews bulletin. A report on the @LondonUNDERGRND strike. But no request for a comment from #TfL chair @MayorofLondon who promised no strikes in “my mayoralty”! Where is he? Where is your journalistic rigour?

Well done to the state-run rail operator @SW_Help….. No services through Wimbledon because of clearly advertised #engineeringworks, but then you cancel trains on the Putney side. Still #cantrunarailway. What was the purpose of nationalisation, @Keir_Starmer

Another @SouthernRailUK service London to Eastbourne using @GatwickExpress stock…. How to confuse those not familiar with the line…

Congratulations to the “thoughtful” @limebike customer who carefully abandoned their bike outside 40 St John’s Hill Grove. SW11 2RG

Has @BBCr4today changed its policy towards #MPs by now calling them by their first names when interviewing them?

Well, go back to privatisation of SWT, when on day one Glenda Jackson, Opposition spokesperson for Transport in London criticised the SWT delays…. They were the result of engineering works…. not operator performance…. What’s good for the goose….
This was meant as a humorous comment, implying that little will change under the new regime. Nothing more.

Credit where credit’s due. The delivery drivers from @sainsburys are always very courteous & polite. But today, the #youngman from Streatham Common coming into SW11 at 09:45 asked if I needed any help. How thoughtful. Thank you but no thank you.

Dear @BBCNews @annaholligan a state visit is, I understand, the visit of a head of state to another! eg King Charles to the president of Finland. Not a visit between #pms #Netanyahu and #Orban are heads of government! This is not a #statevisit. Are your #subeditors asleep?

Why can one not speak to a human @PayPal - I have made a mistake by sending money as goods and services rather than friends and family and the funds are blocked and the recipient cannot access them. This is an emergency…. Funds for a flight home for a funeral

Eight #Arterios in the Clapham sidings… why are they not carrying passengers, who are on overcrowded old trains @SW_Help If you had them in service, I guess the refurbed 458s could be where they should be????

Thanks @SW_Help cancelling the train in the burbs…. Let’s ask why….

Well done @BBCNews US correspondent… reporting on the Toronto aircraft incident…. Minnesota is a city not a state in the US! Is this truly local expert knowledge???

Thanks @EurostarUK for breakfast this morning in “plus”. The menu said a cinnamon swirl… presumably unavailable because we were served the stalest pain au chocolat in viennoiserie history… probably left over from last week’s menu??
