Is there a way we can give feedback to somewhere please as being unable to leave Cornwall for London in the afternoon is a massive loss?

@nationalexpress Hello, is there a particular reason behind the massive change in timetable of 504 Penzance to London please? The loss of the 1.20pm Newquay stop specifically.

Happy Spring! A diversion due to problems on M4 means we're taking the scenic route to the South West on my @nationalexpress coach today. Very appropriate for the day after the spring equinox #windough

Thanks, Lucy. There's nothing any of us can do until it gets rescued, but accuracy of info matters. Thanks again.

We are being told the broken train is in front of us, which I believe. But Lockerbie is 14 miles behind us, and Carlisle 40 miles behind us. Therefore a reply saying it is between Lockerbie and Carlisle doesn't make geographical sense?

Hi Lucy, this is confusing news as the 8.30 Euston to Glasgow is well past Lockerbie?

My cartoon for this week’s @GuardianBooks
Image: a floodlight projects the image of a bat onto the sky. Buildings are aflame and clouds of smoke rise ominously. Inside his apartment, Batman reads a novel with a scowl. Caption: The crime wave raged across Gotham City, but it was book club tomorrow and Batman had, once again, left a great deal of the reading until the last minute.

Love that this chain is full of people, like me, whose only reference for this word is the song in The Water Babies 😆

In what seems like another lifetime, I met this colleague of friends - now his sister in Palestine needs help. It could've been any of us born to that life not this one, so if you've got any spare cash do click the link to donate.

The UN's aid chief describes Gaza as the worst humanitarian crisis he's experienced in 50 years. He makes two key points which should chill you. 1) The official death toll is likely a huge underestimate 2) In these circumstances, far more tend to die of hunger and disease.

Books of the Year! My cartoon for this week’s @GuardianBooks
A book is visiting a fortune teller. The teller looks into a crystal ball and says “I see you on a special table in the bookshop. There is some writing above you.” The book excitedly asks “what does it say?” The crystal ball displays the words “Books of the year”. But then, as the view widens we can see that these words are actually spread across four signs: “books” comes from “discount books”. “Of” is part of “75% off”. “The” is on “the discount table”. And “year” is in “year-end sale”. The book sits below the signs with other unloved novels in a dark corner of the bookshop.
