Perhaps we should ask what @simple_flying and Praychi Pratel have against @Cardiff_Airport given their last 3 articles are sensationally prefaces ‘What on earth’?
Surely commercial companies can make their own decisions?

British Airways is an embarrassing disgrace of an airline @British_Airways
Routinely selling many more tickets than seats, putting lots of passengers on standby who bought tickets months ago, a woeful customer attitude of ‘shrug shrug, not my job’ 🤷♂️
Then not sending the luggage of standby passengers: one case may arrive on next flight an hour later, 1 case shrug shrug wait until tomorrow afternoon when it may or may not arrive 🤷♂️
Britain is Broken
Rightly @Se_Railway have called out this inaccurate story yet the rag continues to publish as new.
More bedbugs spotted in passenger carriages of Southeastern trains
Yet the company insists there weren't any. Meanwhile, we've been shown photos.

Sounds very impressive until you remember HS2 would have added approximately 880,000 weekly seats between just the NE and E Midlands…
Over 2,000,000 weekly seats across the HS2 network….
More trains, more seats, better connections.
CrossCountry’s fleet expansion will contribute to almost 60,000 additional seats per week across its network, helping tackle overcrowding and improve reliability on vital intercity routes.

Would have perhaps preferred someone with rail experience but hopeful can use Treasury knowledge to maximise benefits for the railway?
We’re delighted to welcome Sir John Kingman as chair of #GreatBritishRailways.

Am not surprised by these actions but there's something really quite abhorrent about removing hope from some of the most vulnerable in society.
Nothing says welcome to the railways more than a metal fence!
There must be better options for both ticket check and rev protection.
Chiltern Railways has introduced the UK’s first next-generation FEnX smart gates at High Wycombe Station. The gates aim to reduce fare evasion, improve access and enhance passenger flow. Contactless pay-as-you-go is due soon, following testing.

Shows to all terrorists around the world that the USA will support them. Shocking
Kemi’s comments on this are spot on.
Hats off for calling out the lowlifes who choose hate and division.
I asked Kemi Badenoch about Braverman’s remarks on Englishness. She accused Braverman of “identity politics”
“Suella Braverman is a Reform MP. She’s Nigel Farage’s problem now, not mine.
“She is perfectly entitled to speak about her own identity. I am somebody who doesn’t like identity politics. I am not interested in this endless conversation of trying to split people into lots of boxes.
“I have children who are half black, half white. They’re mixed race. I don’t want to hear rhetoric that makes them feel that they’re not a part of this country.”
Shocked - stunned I tell you!
Reform have found themselves innocent!🙄
