Why are there no trains from Enfield Lock into Liverpool Street today?
@greateranglia
How very odd yhis kind of thing never happens during the day? That's £16 for a cab you owe me!
@greateranglia
What is happening on the Hertford East to Liverpool Street line AGAIN? Trying to get from Enfield Lock to Liverpool Street and once again the platform is packed and there are no trains in sight. Every single time I rely on the trains this happens!
@greateranglia
You lot rally are taking the piss, I turned up at Enfield Lock for the 4.01 train to Liverpool Street...surprise, it's cancelled. You ought to be paying us for the constant hassle you put us through!

A very interesting spread in @thetimes Culture mag today, mourning the problems of UK festivals. It's fascinating that they completely ignore @RebellionFest, sold out this year and and absolute British institution. People still love punk and this proves it.
Look at this comedian, pushing those huge stadium gigs whilst standing back and watching the grassroots venues close one after the other. @MayorofLondon your traffic policies have ritually killed the music scene in London…you clearly know nothing about music!
Music fans can look forward to a record-breaking summer in London ☀️
Our stadiums and venues will bring millions together to enjoy the best - including Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, Ariana Grande & more.
This is why London is the undisputed capital of music.

‘Candidate alt’ b/w ‘Sweet Head’. Diamond Dogs & Ziggy outtakes.
So I posted about @virginmedia being crap and now I've got a flurry of messages from different accounts saying they are VM customer service accounts. I'm stumped!
This is what us small promoters are facing, it’s a full on tragedy for grassroots music!
