@tpexpresstrains.bsky.social

I just can't express how frustrating this change has made my morning. This is really really bad. Please consider going back to the old system. I'm not going through a refund to rebook.
Also what's up with tickets being more expensive than last year? The lowest priced ones disappear more quickly.

Dear @tpexpress.bsky.social, I get that you needed to update the website but why is it SO hard to amend tickets for the same journey now?? I need to re-book and ask for a refund now. It used to be SO easy. It's such a faff that I gave up instead of spending lots of money on a ticket change.

The power of clean energy hit the news across the U.S. last weekend as 500 events kicked off to celebrate Sun Day 🗞☀️ Thank you to local organizers for sharing the story of Sun Day and showing the HUGE support for solar and wind that continues to grow despite the challenges we face.

- they're powered by fossil fuels
- they appear like they make our lives easier but they ultimately will destroy what we cherish the most

Ai and plastics have so much in common
- yes, they can be useful in some very specific applications, but they're actually subpar in many cases (breaks/spills BS)
- they are huge sources of pollution
- they are marketed to us as "inevitable"
- once introduced, they're impossible to get rid of

Character Roles What could this mean? Find out more in our first class on Tuesday 30 September! [Nine black and white images showing a crown, a cathedral, two crossed swords, a pile of coins, a hammer breaking ground, a farmer, a quill writing, a drum and drumsticks, a neoclassical courthouse]

Second year of running a L3 France 1780-1871 course with 'character role cards' as part of the syllabus
