Buses are good. Electric buses are better. But what's the obsession with fitting spats and pretending they're trams? #bristolrail
Setting up our stall at Imagining Future Transport! Are you joining in at Sparks today? #bristolrail
We're sure it's lovely! Can't think why anyone would drive to Bath from Bristol though, when it's 12 mins by train... #bristolrail somersetlive.co.uk/whats-on/…
We're pleased to see the Wiltshire Rail Strategic Study recommends new stations at Devizes and Corsham (on our Plan for Rail!) and better services through Melksham! wiltshire.gov.uk/news/counci… #bristolrail

We predicted that people would be disappointed when they learnt what the initial service at this station would be. A more frequent service can't come soon enough! #bristolrail

So, this afternoon I got home to find a lovely letter from @northernassist telling me about how they wanted to prosecute me for using the below ticket to travel on the specified route at a peak time.
I paid £1.90 less than the fare they say I should have paid.
A thread 🧵
Bus and train fares around Bristol and Bath need sorting out. We think a system of zonal fares would be fairer, and would encourage more people to use trains and buses. #bristolrail @edPlowden bristolrailcampaign.org.uk/z…
Got a train from Ashley Down to Montpelier today! Worked out pretty well, but will be better with more frequent trains at Ashley Down #bristolrail
