@BeeNetwork There's offensive graffiti on the wall at the city end of the inbound platform at Burton Road tram stop.

@BeeNetwork Driver of tram 3111 partially overshot the platform at Chorlton inbound. No announcement to avoid using the front doors and no apology for the late hard braking.

@BeeNetwork The passenger information display inbound at St Werburgh's Road is faulty, with the top line very faint partly on one side and wholly on the other.

@kmerrin @TWAMmuseums I've just been on a train journey sitting next to a man who'd been to your Turner exhibition @LaingArtGallery and told me how fantastic it was. A great word of mouth recommendation.

@JamesBSumner This made me think of you: "They could have called the old road through Maybole the X5000 if they wanted, or Highway Z, or Route Four Billion, and nobody can tell them not to."
Just published: our celebrations of the centenary of road numbering are finishing with a look at some bizarre mistakes. What happens when road numbers go rogue? roads.org.uk/blog/sorry-wron…

The admirably transparent report and 16 key lessons should be read by everyone in cultural organisations with responsibility for cybersecurity, including charity trustees.

George has helped to make museums more socially relevant and is a committed leader. I'll be voting to bring her experience to the MA Board.

Michael would be a brilliant President of the Museums Association. He gets things done thoughtfully and would build on the MA's strengths.
If you are a member of the MA, please vote for me to be the next President. I will be a strong advocate for the sector and improve the MA’s work on advocacy, climate change and campaigns. You should receive a ballot by email shortly and I’d very much appreciate your support.

Happy new year. A 15 miles walk mostly in the sunshine on the @EasternMoors and Edges of the Peak District.
