Title: TOC enquiries via X / Twitter - now for selected enquirers only? Post by: grahame on February 01, 2024, 10:12:59 In making enquiries (of Transport for Wales) yesterday, I looked to using email, Facebook, or X to get a written and quotable response. Email said "up to 10 working days to respond" and then had no appropriate subject line option and wan't the way to go. Facebook was closed to messages. I tried to message on X and was rather shocked that TfW - though they advertise the route - seem to open it to the selected people they follow and to people who pay for X premium service only.

Hmm. I wonder @tfwrail know this - or if we know what payment organisational accounts now make to Twitter for Twitter's services. It doesn't at the moment apply to all Twitter users - e.g. I (unverified, joined Twitter c.2009) can message @tfwrail. It's something that rather undermines the entire business case for rail companies providing support via Twitter - though that might be something that's in retreat anyway.
