Cars duck under Gaunojato in Mexico in tunnels that had streams in. Even an underground crossroads! Is that a first? Buses go overground @PaulCliftonBBC @StephenJoseph7 @TransportTimes @passtrans
Great coach network in Mexico. Lots of operators, spotless stations and easy booking. Odd no departure boards! @LordPeterHendy @AlexWarner5 @alexhornbybus @christianwolmar @NEMartijn
Dropped in to see new buildings @Gatwick_Airport rail station. Impressive space, light and good signs. No ticket windows so queues need constant staff attention. Great exhibition as well about this success story 600 trains a day! @networkrail @SouthernRailUK @TLRailUK @GWRHelp
Another stranded train causes chaos @NetworkRailVIC @SouthernRailUK @TransportFocus research prokect looking at how passengers handled in this type of situation
It gets worse. CIS at Clapham Junction says platform 14 closed go to 12. Passengers trudge over despite staff saying go to 14. Train pulls in on platform 14 going to Victoria! @SouthernRailUK @SW_Help @networkrail
What is happening @SouthernRailUK @networkrail ? 1112 Wandsworth Common to Victoria platform change as train pulls in. Inaudible announcement and no time to cross over..then next two trains cancelled! Everyone missed train...how to lose passenger trust!
Normally reliable @SouthernRailUK collapsed this morning at Wandsworth Common. Cancellations left half hour gap its going to be tight! What happened?

My @TransportFocus colleague, Yvonne, is once again out and about seeing what services are like for passengers during the latest @theTRUpgrade works. Really busy at Leeds station. Lots of visitors for Pride and first home game for LUFC. Then a rail replacement to Huddersfield.
Chwarae teg~credit where it's due. Great service from @tfwrail this AM, following minor delay in the #Cardiff service. Helpful timetable advice from Imogen at the #Abergavenny ticket office & restorative ☕ from #AlanTheBuffet. Need to call out poor service & celebrate the good.

We are beyond excited to finally announce that we will be officially launching our new cross-country coach service next week with @flixbus_uk operating daily between #Newcastle & #Manchester 🟢 #nationalcoachweek @bus_coachbuyer busandcoachbuyer.com/stanley-travel…
Sept 1996. Birmingham Coach Company had launched a somewhat bizarre competitive strike on Ludlows' small Halesowen-based network, even offering free journeys until registrations kicked in. Both operators eventually became today's Diamond....
Thrilled to finally share my news that I’ll be taking on the role of Group MD at the UK’s biggest independent bus group - McGills - running 500 buses & joining 2000+ colleagues across Scotland. I have huge respect for this ambitious, growing business - exciting times lie ahead!
Tweeted this a fortnight ago & everyone said "Why not London-Glasgow?". Well, @AvantiWestCoast have now added Glasgow from £30, avantisuperfare.co.uk. I'm told over 2/3 of Superfare journeys are additional to rail, either switching from car/coach or wouldn't have been made.
Avanti West Coast are offering ultra-cheap 'Superfare' tickets between London & Birmingham/Liverpool/Manchester/Preston on trains with spare capacity - you pick the date and morning/afternoon/evening, they pick the train. Available on a dedicated website, avantisuperfare.co.uk
In our most recent round of customer research (Jan 23): 🚌 42% have access to a car but choose the bus 💛 70% prefer brands to route numbers 🕙 67% want to see us to continue issuing paper timetables 🔌 92% make use of wifi and USB charging …and that’s why we do what we do!

Picked up a bargain bus fare on the first leg of my commute this morning! Great initiative to get people back on board. @burnleybuses
Feeling smug cos I remembered to leave time to get to my platform... Streatham getting a long-awaited (much needed) lift. My buggy days are over but this is a busy station used by loads of families so it's great that they + those with mobility issues will finally have easy access
Massive thank you to @CrossCountryUK and @PassAssistance who, despite major strike action, got me onto my train to a hospital appointment. #DisabilityTwitter #RailStrikes
My @TransportFocus colleague, Yvonne Fox-Burmby, is at York station. Track renewals in progress. Well organised, lightly used, rail replacement service in action. Staff around and good signage. Plenty of interest from passengers able to see work going on trackside.
