PSA for fellow commuters on the Hereford / Worcester to Birmingham line: @WestMidRailway will be operating fewer trains from Monday 31/03/25, due to insufficient carriages. Others may by short formed. westmidlandsrailway.co.uk/tr… 0724 WOF to BHM cancelled 1750 BHM to HFD cancelled

Absolutely shocking service from @WestMidRailway today with 0824, 0924 and 1024 from Worcester Foregate St to University and Birmingham New Street all cancelled. Yes I know about #delayrepay but that doesn't replace the conference I've now missed!

Today's #MondayRead is The Black Loch by @authorpetermay, courtesy of @Bookishcrick

Thanks to Dave in the @ForegateBoard ticket office for explaining the 8:24 @WestMidRailway train to Birmingham was running, despite not appearing on any boards, announcements, or the App. It's a week early for a Ghost Train!

Sadly I live too far from @Bookishcrick to go and see this talk by @Beathhigh on his latest #Rebus novel, Midnight and Blue, so I've ordered it from them instead. Support your independent book shops! #LocalBookShop

@DavidBurdus @Tanni_GT curious for your thoughts on this "for mobility assistance, please wait here" marked zone that has appeared at my local station. It's outside the Information office painted on the platform, next to the ramps. However the platform is narrow and very busy 1/

@246calm Delighted to see that the Manchester Art Gallery have bought several of Alex's wonderful figures, after they were exhibited as partner the Grayson Perry Art Club.

@WestMidRailway terrible optics and bad PR that you don't have enough staff to run this morning's train from Worcester Foregate Street to Birmingham New Street, but you have enough staff to flood the station with Revenue Protection. Shows your priorities are not customer focused.

The lack of traffic jams on The Tything / Barborne Road / Ombersley Road in Worcester must mean the private schools have broken up for the summer...

Today's list of things that shouldn't be in the bike & bus lane: 1. Sainsbury's delivery van 2. skip delivery 3. beer delivery 4. diversion sign (not yet in force) 5. Cyclists (going the wrong way) 6. Cars undertaking traffic All these force cyclists into traffic. @BikeWorcester

Today's list of things that should have no place in a bike lane included: - cars undertaking traffic jams to turn left - a @sainsburys lorry unloading - a Bin lorry collecting commercial waste (and driving the wrong way) - a car transporter unloading vehicles @BikeWorcester

Many thanks to the guard of the 1720 BHM to HFD @WestMidRailway for arranging to hold the @GWRHelp at WOS for those travelling on to WOF and Malvern, when the train was taken out-of service at WOS. Thanks also to the platform staff at WOS for pointing us in the right direction.

@ADSKCommunity anyone known if this is legit? These prices seem to good to be true!

@WestMidRailway dreadful service on the BHM to WOF service tonight. 2 out of 3 peak time trains cancelled, and the 3rd stops short of my destination. And yes, I know about delay repay.

Another #SchoolStreets example for @BikeWorcester @goSHIFTscheme @mikerouseuk @hannahcooper40

Does @Enscape3d for #Revit have a tool to match the camera view to a photo for inserting a render of the building into its context? Or am I going to do this the old school way? #UKBIMCrew @ADSKCommunity @snowyweston @Twiceroadsfool

I really don't think Clients realise how much of a PITA it is when the Project Code gets changed mid way through a 19650 project. Renaming, relinking, checking and re-publishing every single model and drawing!
