Lol let's be real: ppl like "#honestandstrong" ppl until they're honest & strong with them. Then they're difficult. Then they're a bitch. Then they're not cool. Only a few men who I know have been able to really navigate relationships of any kind with strong, honest #women.

Watching @CraigDavid in the lead up to #NYEFireworks is more enjoyable than I thought it would be, topped only by how white the dancing in the audience is #2020NewYear

Just this morning on my Facebook feed, there have been 3 ads smearing @jeremycorbyn and @UKLabour. Good to know the opposition is investing money well. #VotingLabour #VoteTheToriesOut

I know all these terrible things are happening in the world, but also, you have no business calling yourself a Threading Technician when you have to use tweezers as well #threading #nichehashtag #FridayThoughts
I am going to this tomorrow, would be great to see you there, it's for such an important cause and should be a great show!!! xx
Right, that's not really answered my question. I'm happy to have a conversation if you're actually going to give cogent reasons, but that's a cop out. Which is really what the problem ultimately is, that people won't just admit they fucked up and own it
1
Yes, which is why more measures should be put in place to try and control the numbers in the train. It's not really good enough, it's not like they don't know it's a Friday during summer holidays or that Edinburgh Festival is on.
Replying to @BasRahman1987
People always moan when trains are packed, usually due to events, bank holidays and peak periods. Most of the time we get seats. but we forget those times

So can you explain why it's not in place?
Replying to @BasRahman1987
If the solution was as easy as people think then dont you think it would be in place already. LNER are breaking no law whatsoever and that is also just a fact we have to live with

I'm not saying it's a complete solution, I'm saying that would eliminate a huge part of the problem. Saying that someone may go 1 stop or 11 isn't really a valid excuse for packing the train out from the off & having dozens & dozens of people standing, without even giving water
Replying to @BasRahman1987
OK what about people at later stations who have reservations and those who dont ? How do you let on or stop them and who has priority. 300 could turn up at York after the train leaves London but how would you know that two hours early?
2
There are cameras throughout the train to see the overcrowding and staff at every station, if the train is overcrowded, use your staff to control the capacity of the carriages. That would eliminate a huge part of the problem.
Waste of a tweet there. LNER are doing nothing illegal. If you dont feel safe or unwell you can always get off at the next station. What do you suggest to stop overcrowding. I am interested in your thoughts

Can you deliver water to carriage C as well? Everyone is pretty dehydrated and thirsty, here
Replying to @LNER
@LNER you should be giving out water on this train to #Edinburgh to those people who you sold tickets to, knowing there wouldn't be enough seats. Those standing are roasting in the heat.
