It’s the final @CalSleeper using Mk 2 and Mk 3s tonight, with @CAFRailUK Mk 5s in use from tomorrow, a few days earlier than planned. It also means 86101, 86401 and 87002 will no longer be able to work for CS.

Team building at the @LancasterUni Ecohub is always informative & fun - visiting chickens, seeing to the veg or just being in the fresh air thanks @green_lancaster @dnaxe & Naomi.

London-Edinburgh, train vs plane. Which is cheapest if you book at noon for a journey the following morning? independent.co.uk/travel/new…

Travelling from London to Edinburgh tomorrow? The train is cheaper than the plane

Exclusive: Booking at noon the day before travel, the lowest air fare found was £49 and the cheapest rail deal £42 – but the latter required a trick

Ryanair is the new coal! It's 1st Airline to become Top-10 carbon polluter in Europe - the other 9 being coal plants. Aviation emissions have risen 26.3% since 2013 – far outpacing all transport modes. Airlines pay no fuel tax. Air tickets have no VAT. transenv.eu/2uIGZYx

How much does it cost to protect 4 million sq km of ocean? Only 50p per sq km per year. @PhilipHammondUK can you please find £2 million to #backthebluebelt in #SpringStatement & make the UK the world leader in ocean conservation? @michaelgove vimeo.com/317146639/aed3944f…

The recent incident where a fisherman was bitten while releasing a Porbeagle was an unfortunate accident & NOT a shark attack. Porbeagle are Critically Endangered in the NE Atlantic - commercial fisherman must promptly release if caught & we strongly urge anglers not to target

That speech by @theresa_may was entirely underwhelming. No legislative backing for a set of vague, very long term ambitions. Nothing new at all on climate. And any day now the Government are set to give the green light to fracking... #25YEP
