@AvantiWestCoast How come that the pile of crap called Avanti West Coast is still allowed to operate train services I will never understand. I'm supposed to be on my way to Wolverhampton. So far I got as far as Euston.
I've been here for a while now; and train after train after train from Avanti is being cancelled! Due to staff shortages. Why don't they just hire more staff?! (No, it's not a train strike day).
And I'm not allowed to catch the next Birmingham train as it's operated by North Western Service. How come North West Rail is able to staff their trains and Avanti are not?! The information board very helpfully says "ask staff" - WHAT STAFF?!

Did you know that the #EST (#energy saving trust) that advised you all to remove old back boilers, replaced by combis (at a net cost to you) promising bill savings "up to £300 a year" (only £85 a year actual) are the same people now pushing heat pumps...

"Biomass heating systems burn wood pellets, chips or logs to provide warmth in a single room or to power central heating and hot water boilers"
The hot water boilers you told millions to get rid of?
Burning more wood to heat your water is good?
"If you have room for a large fuel store that will accept several tonnes of pellets at a time, delivered in bulk by tanker, you can keep the cost below £300 per tonne in most parts of the UK."
If using one tonne per month the cost per year would be £3600 (assuming £300 a tonne)
