@kevin_carter_uk @ChiefPieEater I had a work VPN to access a previous company IT system when my company was taken over. IT in the new company were decidedly unhappy as they couldn’t see what I was doing.

@dr_besty @izakaminska All bonds are £1 each and all have an equal opportunity of winning. It is only the minimum investment that is £25 nowadays.

@Champs707007 We use electric point heaters nowadays but they used to be gas fired just like this.

@thebestmarklee Part of the problem is just how much the line side vegetation has grown over the years, it needs cutting back. Unfortunately that creates howls of protest let alone increased costs for the labour needed.

@MikeStewart79 I call this as fake news, age seems to change depending on social media source and there is no official confirmation anywhere.

@NathanTBatWaver That's going to be expensive, 24000 trains a day, three shifts to cover, say same number of guards as drivers, 27,000 jobs at £60k cost per job (salary of ca. £35k plus costs) makes for £1.6Bn extra costs. That's at least £1 on every ticket, at least £2 a day more for most folk.

@LNallalingham That graph is the FTSE250, not whole market. The index opened today at 22108.89 and currently stands at 22013.76. It has recovered the majority of the fall you are showing, it is just normal trading volatility. The days low was at 10:11 well before Reeves spoke.

@indigojo_uk @I_amMukhtar There was a stopper in that platform, they were told to get clear as quickly as possible.

@I_amMukhtar The driver doesn't control the signals or points, he cannot decide where to go. That decision was made by the signaller in York ROC based on the information from the train crew as a whole.

@EmilyThornberry The incident was at Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire, Huntington is in Yorkshire ... Yet more London centric ignorance it seems.

@TM_James_ I used to commute daily, PBO to YRK and met some great LNER and Network Rail staff over the years. Thinking of all those involved at this terrible time. Oh my kids half brother is BTP at PBO, been thinking of him as well.

@ThePosieParker Certainly not my experience at all in two different hospitals. Both very helpful and attentive. IMHO it is the GP surgeries that are the problem, won’t see anyone and push all and any issues straight to A&E.

@SpaceAlien675 @Jenny_1884 My GP surgery has 13 doctors to cover approximately 20,000 patients, a ratio of 0.65 so much better than the national average. The surgery is almost always deserted and there is anything up to a 4 week wait for appointments. They claim to be ultra busy.

@parochena @JamesMelville Not a hope in hell of that happening where I live. Can only book appointments on line, not by phone and not in person. Booking opens at 8:30, fully booked by 8:35. I struggle to even get appointments for my long term condition.
