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.

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

No, I genuinely am selling train tickets. Not an April fool. Although it got people talking!

2025 looking like an interesting year for @realtimetrains.co.uk. Working on: * some experimentation in Q1 * <secret project> (release target Q2) * API revamp/data hub (release target Q3)

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.

After watching first hand the full on apparent communications meltdown on SWR last night, it’s given me some ideas.

Back on the trains today for the first time in weeks after a lovely virus. Cambridge beckons.

I spent a good chunk of my day in two brake vans fixing some technology. It makes a nice difference to last time I had to do that which involved lots of screwdrivers, just a Wi-Fi router this time 😂 Oh, and they were setting up for this thing…
