    That is utterly extraordinary. I've picked up 100 followers in 15 minutes after doing the LBC interview with @mrjamesob. I suspect none are railway folk but the audience so poorly served by the MSM on rail matters - ordinary decent folk who just want to be better informed?

    …..and once nature has done it’s thing it will be virtually invisible. Just like HS1 has been for years.

    Had to say goodbye to my 92 year old dad at the weekend. After a near 3-year debilitating illness which inflicted declining mobility and steadily increasing indignities, he left us at 1340 on Saturday. John Brian Harris: 11/3/31-11/2/23. RIP.

    I promise you, this is no quick once-over...this is a really beautiful paint job. Major hat tip to the paint shops concerned. A job to be really proud of. And salutes to @LNER for doing this. A very worthy network wide farewell. A privilege to be part of it.

    Just agreed to talk to @mrjamesob LBC, 015. Having heard James' approach to recalcitrant guests I admit to a certain queasiness...but let's roll, as they say.🙄This is important! I've never seem 100 faster 'likes' than appeared on James' tweet that I'd agreed to chat!

    They asked me last night to do Today on precisely this Anna - but cancelled at 0646. Sure that's happened to you many times! Yet more evidence of really dire news editing - politics trumping specialist analysis on behalf of the ordinary folk most affected?

    Seriously?? #DominicRaab on #Today (in 5 mins) defending cancelling #HS2 East & Northern rail projects…. The man who didn’t understand the importance of Dover-Calais to British biz & who’s keen to stop misogyny against men …. Seriously?? #clueless

    1/ An HS2 thread. Sitting comfortably? Good. I shall begin. You know how chefs make those very strongly flavoured 'reduction' sauces where they simmer and boil and reduce until you have a very thick, gloopy sauce whose flavour is intense? That's what I'm going to try and do here

    Inconclusive?! She received a text from a very senior manager saying “how about you and me in a hotel room?” How ‘inconclusive’ or ambiguous is that?! Unbelievable. Jo has put up with this for years.

    Dear national journalists, please put a sock in it, take a long look at this picture and think - just think - before your next story, link or intro. It’s appalling out there and thousands are grafting to keep things moving. I hope you have a better day than this driver. Thankyou.

    1/I've been giving more thought to media coverage which either at worst directly implies Driver Brett McCullough was going too fast (he wasn't) or at best leaves the unpleasant whiff of the question hanging in the air. It does come from judging rail speeds as road speeds are
