Interesting. BBC» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page)’s Paul Clifton was wondering as well. Bet there are times GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) would like to pull the plug on their Twitter feed.

Incidentally, it would have been a quiet day on the SWR» (South Western Railway - about) Twitter feed as unlike their sister company, they’ve been able to run a pretty much full service. SWR train crew not into football?
