Welcome to those in the #InfoOnline25 Starter Pack! I'm thinking I will change this to a more generic ALIA Starter Pack and I can add in new GLAM joiners so we have a nice list going. thoughts? go.bsky.app/RULidQ8

I sent them some pretty blunt feedback the other day whilst being stuck on a train that was a reduced service, that left SCS 40 minutes late, that happened to have kids vaping on it, and the PA system was so quiet you couldn’t hear the conductor… poor timing on their part.

I made a gif and it's had 4000 hits in under a month. Does that make me an influencer now? Am I famous? How does this internet thing work?!
