@nationalrailenq That info was incorrect according to station staff at TM. Thankfully we were able to make our own arrangements to escape the complete chaos there.

@nationalrailenq Thx bot. Again, what about between TM and Newport? Where are the replacement buses? Number of ppl trying to get back to Sourh Wales stranded at Temple Meads is increasing with every cancelled train.

@bbclaurak So, you let Yusuf cite a 'preponderance of academic research' as support for Reform's welfare cuts; did you not think to question him on why he is unconvinced by the titanic 'preponderance' of academic research on the reality of human caused climate change?

@danny_robins @BBCSounds @BBCRadio4 That point about earthquakes sounded a bit 🤔 but on the other hand... bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

@CindyLouWho2023 @danny_robins @BBCSounds @BBCRadio4 Did he pick it up and take it home with him? It belonged to his mate after all?

Just some of the buildings flattened to build the Gabalfa Interchange/Flyover. Not to mention 100+ homes destroyed for benefit of drivers Makes the "war on cars" & online vitriol whenever improvements are proposed to improve streets for people outside of cars look a bit silly...

@ceritheviking M25, M5, M3, M6, M42. I drive those motorways on occasion. All are perpetually congested at certain times. Sometimes multiple times a day. The idea that all motorways can somehow be 'fixed' doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

@cyclingwurzel @GWRHelp They randomly don't fit some otherwise standard bikes too, e.g. ones with deep rims. Just bad design, and zero justification for it.

In W Sussex. Cycled #SalternsWay to the Witterings & back. On the B roads, 9 out of 10 drivers fine. Why 1 driver in 10 leave fuck all space overtaking us? What's the issue, when everyone else is perfectly competent?

@WelshConserv There are 16 graphs there. 10 of them show no uptick after 20mph introduction.

Across Cardiff, in four different directions, bike is quicker than car and public transport (as well as being a hell of a lot cheaper and waayyy more pleasant - even taking into account the small minority of dickhead drivers). cardiffcyclecity.org/2024/08/02/car…

@LSRiverside I've seen driving that's terrible, careless, incompetent, ragey - all kinds of adjectives. But I can't remember another instance of driving that genuinely just seemed to defy explanation. He wasn't obviously angry, gained nothing by it, and it too a *lot* of effort .

In the car earlier, doing 30mph in the 30 zone on Llanedeyrn Rd. Driver behind overtakes me doing 40 to then sit on bumper of car 20 yds in front of me before turning right after about 100 yds. Most inexplicable bit of driving I've ever seen 🤪

@scowlingmonkey Not only did this gain him nothing, it was such a huge effort for nothing. Bloke in his 60s. Maybe ticking off items on a particularly shit bucket list.
