Good to meet you last night in the pub!

I'm on my way to Derby. Apparently, if you're at The Greatest Gathering tomorrow you can have lunch with me. Or just listen to be talk about how much I may or may not like trains.

Or maybe hear about the time I got bumped off the local news by Farage.

Did you know we sell train tickets? We launched Realtime Tickets back in April!

We can even help you with ideas for days out with our unique Daytripper service!

Check it out at www.realtimetickets.co.uk

I got fed up with everyone else so I built my own: www.realtimetickets.co.uk

With loyalty scheme coming soon...

Hello internet hivemind. Can anyone recommend a good Merchant of Record software offering for digital sales? (Must support GBP natively.)

The primary option that we looked at took one look, misunderstood the business and is now just ignoring contact.

Dear big rail ticketing website, if you're going to do a rip off at least do it well. I've never seen St Pancras located in Bognor Regis before. Lots of love, Tom xoxo

Two new things in two weeks.

Last week, Realtime Tickets (have you used it yet? it's really good. might be slightly biased): www.realtimetickets.co.uk
This week: we've added a new operator to Know Your Train on RTT, West Midlands Trains!

No, I genuinely am selling train tickets.

Not an April fool. Although it got people talking!

Best day. 😆

Open access or contract?

I now sell train tickets.

I don't think I've ever seen a Maccies (or anything like it) at any Disney park I've been to. 😂

I genuinely think Waterside see themselves as running one of the world’s best airlines. It is anything but. They should travel on their part owner Qatar ffs.

I’m GfL so I’m no loss if I move on now and no incentive to give them any money. Saw a LH 748 at MCO earlier and am tempted…

Club suite out of Gatwick was only plus.

Largely disinterested (but friendly) crew. Food (still in post brunch era) crap. Afternoon tea portion size… I’ve had better on a domestic. Wi-Fi broken. Seat needed resetting twice. Door broken…

I’m pretty done with BA. Got A380 F back, hope that’s better

i'll be there in a few months. my flight over to US today was awful.

ohai

<secret project> release in Q2 is looking pretty good!

Merry Christmas from RTT Towers.

Our #SantaTracker is up and running and keeping an eye on North Pole Depot in West London...

I would be jealous of the students except I sometimes actually deal with punch cards now… and floppy disks too!

Is "Open Data" really "Open Data" when a middle man between publisher and consumer can prevent you from accessing it - and it is the sole source of direct access?

Asking for a friend.

You would be fascinated by how it works at the major airports. Similar to what you say. Except it costs an arm and a leg to the carriers. And doesn't work.

This is not the place to answer that :-)

There’s far more to it than that.
