Did you know?
The London Underground opened in 1863. The Copenhagen metro opened in 2002.
Also, there’s a qualified driver on every DLR train.
Which just proves you can’t replace skilled workers with an (incorrect) post on X!
Did you know?
Tube drivers are going on strike. AGAIN.
Eight walkouts with 16 DAYS of disruption. SIX just before Christmas.
Meanwhile, in Copenhagen, their metro has NO drivers.
It runs 24/7 and carried 135 MILLION passengers last year.
PLUS, for years it has been run by a BRITISH company.
We’ve helped other nations build and operate driverless metros. We even have our OWN.
The DLR has been running without drivers since 1987.
So why do we still have to deal with Tube strikes?
London is a 24/7 city, and the Tube should be too.
More trains. Running all night. With NO more DISRUPTION due to strikes.
Automate the Tube. If TFL won't do it, Parliament should!
What do you think?
Can we have a law that bans QR codes on PDFs and Social Media? Asking on behalf of literally everyone

Let this sink in.... its now TWO years since this line was completed and still no stopping passenger service has commenced.
Work from the train they say. Office on wheels they say. Google Drive appears to be blocked on @LNRailway WiFi
Petition for Early Repay - for when I’ve had to get an earlier train because the one I wanted was cancelled but I still want to get to my destination on time
If I had a pound for every time I heard “xx train company isn’t valid on this train” … I’d have enough money to not buy toc specific tickets
If only there was a dedicated railway for high speed services to … hmm … Manchester, Leeds, the East Midlands, and Scotland… if only
Just what you need when trying to get to the train station! Nice one @Uber
65th minute of my journey and I’m speeding through my originating station. #Makeitmakesense
18:02 Bromsgrove > Birmingham

3 hours to travel South, an hour wasted by traveling north
Thought I’d give these a try - 398029 takes me to Cardiff Bay

Funny you should ask… On frequent occasions do I have to travel 30 minutes north from Bromsgrove to change at Birmingham to make a journey south to Gloucestershire, Bristol or South Wales.

If you see something that doesn’t look right … @BTP
We may have to get the railway byelaws updated.
It's understandable though, @LNER dessert pots are VERY tasty.
ALT A customer complains about the person opposite eating dessert before their main course. The reply is "Regrettably, eating pudding before the main course is not currently prohibited under railway byelaws. For now, we'll classify this as "concerning but not actionable." Safe travels, and stay strong during these difficult times."
Such a great use of capacity. Especially with the reduced EMR Intercity at the moment.
Top job @LNER #Teamwork
To help customers travelling to and from London during engineering work on Sunday 30 August 2026, we're operating two return Newcastle to Bedford services.
The trains will support more comfortable journeys and reduce necessary changes.
