One year after BT Group announced grand plans to convert up to 60,000 old green street cabinets into public EV chargers, they have pulled the plug on their pilot 🥴

Spent £60 for a single trip to London using @thetrainline so I could get to a hospital appointment. Train got cancelled by @GWRHelp. TrainLine emails no update about this. Ended up having to go by car on a Sunday. And now a refund seems impossible to get. Mad. @LouHaigh
@thetrainline, I can't seem to get a refund for a train that was cancelled yesterday about 5 hours before it left - I spent £60 on a ticket. Can I DM?
Best (and quite cheap) insulation decision I made at previous flat with single glaze sash windows was to buy thermal underlinings for my curtains.
