@GC_Rail Hi - really poor service for passengers today; delay, lack of communication and unnecessarily confrontational staff. There was no platform shown for the 16:27 KGX to Bradford Interchange less than 5 minutes before the service was scheduled to leave, meaning passengers >

> from Sunderland, so you have to wait for it be cleaned, alright?" in a very hostile tone. Delays are frustrating, but the least Grand Central can do is communicate and not expect passengers to be psychic. Quite a stressful start to the journey.

@GC_Rail Hi, any chance of a reply to this from 48 hours ago? When I'm explaining how poor your company's service has been, a Like doesn't seem the appropriate response.

Does anyone (who I've met, rather than the broader /anyone/) fancy seeing Sarah Millican on Saturday night (Hammersmith Apollo)? Friend I booked with has the lurgy and doesn't want the seat to go to waste.

Replying to @Tesco
@Tesco Shopped in a large Tesco I don't normally go to and was really unimpressed that - in a situation where the down escalator to the store entrance was broken - the member of security staff on the exit couldn't tell me how to get out of the store. They said it was their first>

> day and waved me towards a travellator that ended in the car park; really not helpful for a customer who hasn't parked. Let's hope there's no emergency where people need to exit quickly.

@hm_custserv Really frustrating when the only option your stores offer is self checkout and the instructions aren't clear/tills don't work as expected. First, I queued at the till to be told I couldn't pay there (see photo of the tiny sign that's supposed to tell customers that)>

> then at the self checkout, my till started beeping for no known reason. All four of the customers trying to pay when I was needed assistance, making this slower and less convenient than paying at a till. Really poor experience that puts me off shopping with you again.

@sainsburys Hi there, Another really poor experience in store. All three sets of scales in fruit and veg were broken and unable to print labels; reported that to a member of staff at the kiosk, who said I'd have to weigh loose fruit and veg at the checkout (great news for those >

< customers doing your fruit and veg challenge!). Then four Stamford St products out of stock, so I haven't been able to buy yoghurt, cheese, ham or eggs; all pretty staple items. Shopping with you then means going to another shop.

The scale of the Met’s clean up operation is astonishing and expected to take years. 450 officers are being investigated for historic allegations of sexual or domestic violence. Underlines the crisis of trust in the force, especially for women, if it needed further emphasising.

NEW: The Met Police says more than 1,000 officers are currently suspended or on restricted duties as it attempts to root out rogue officers. That’s 1 in every 34 officers. 275 are awaiting a gross misconduct hearing, many involving alleged violence against women and girls.

Can anyone point me to a really basic guide to recording podcasts? Work want to do one, but I don't think anyone actually knows what's involved.

I’ve done big gigs that I didn’t tweet about because I feel it’s ungracious, but I’m promoting my book that comes out on Friday. I’m ranked #1 in UK for ‘hot new releases’ under ‘writing’ and just found out I’m #4 in US & Canada for ‘creativity & genius’. amzn.eu/d/0oGfPKz

Genuinely astonishing work tonight by @northernassist - three passengers trying to get to Blackpool/Preston, told by Northern staff to get off at Hebden Bridge and take a rail replacement bus that wasn't for an hour (00:15). Left at an unstaffed station, after 11pm, with no help.
That’s all from us this evening guys. We will be back tomorrow to help you with any questions and travel queries. ℹ️ If you need assistance overnight, please speak to station staff, use customer help points or check your journey here: northernrailway.co.uk/servic…
