I find the officious reminders that a flat phone battery is no excuse for not having a ticket to hand particularly annoying. It would be much easier to keep a phone charged if we weren’t waiting around for delayed trains and there enough working plug sockets

Another train journey, another ridiculous delay. Rail infrastructure is actually unusable at the minute.

Check out the latest article from our Border Crossings project from Dr Steph Haydon!

Similarly, I find ‘congestion’ a funny non-explanation. It’s a rail service! Please explain the congestion 😂

Absolutely, footnotes please! So readable, so informative.

I've been thinking about how the annual reports of Sheffield's teaching hospitals were used to present charitable spending in the early NHS Photographs, graphs and infographics communicated efficient spending on improving patients' experiences. #NorthernHistory #NHS #HistMed
