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 🧵

Please feel free to reply as well if any of you know why there is this price difference between stations. > @BristolCouncil @TheBristolCable @BristolLive @bristol247 @BishSoc @BOSAtpgroup @bcr_cp @bristol_pip @WASP_BS7 @James_CrBS7 @David_on_a_bike @bristolgreen @WestofEnglandCA

Great to meet up with @PortisheadRail today so that I can express my continued support for this vital infrastructure project.

New blog! ✍
We often hear from people who say that they would use public transport if only they had any. ️It’s no coincidence that the UK has become a nation of drivers, it's all down to bad planning...

Anyone who has ever seen the ridiculous queues to get off the M5 at the Gordano interchange during the evening rush hours knows this is a complete “no-brainer”. That railway service will be as popular as freshly-fried doughnuts!

Thankful to my colleague @LordPeterHendy, Minister for Rail, for confirming that despite the £22bn black hole we have inherited from the last Government, the Portishead and Pill railway re-opening is not now listed as one of the cancelled projects. – at London, England
The Portishead rail line was trailed in the Sunday papers as one of the potential casualties of the Chancellor’s cuts
Today @Sadik4Pharmacy told me he will continue to fight for it
Bristol Rail Campaign retweeted
We remain committed to reopening the Portishead to Bristol rail line, despite news that government has cancelled the Restoring Your Railways programme.
Schemes within the programme will now be subject to review by Sec of State for Transport.

It would be hilarious if, after 25 yrs of Govts saying ‘yes, soon’ to the Portishead rail line, the first Labour MP Portishead has ever had @Sadik4Pharmacy is part of a Govt that axes it altogether.
Sorry, not hilarious… terrible.

Meanwhile in Ireland, Cork is progressing its commuter rail system with 10-minute frequencies planned.
Cork has a population of 125,000, 10,000 smaller than Exeter. This is the vision we need for Devon Metro.
