Just to add: this an everyday story and nothing actually happened so why bother with this thread? Because we need to talk about it. We need to believe women who say theyโ€™re scared. We all need to look out for this stuff all the time and we need to call it out (ENDS)

An open return train ticket to Darlington yesterday for two of us would have cost ยฃ492. We did it for ยฃ22 in our electric car. I reckon it would have been around ยฃ70 in a petrol car. For so many reasons, surely something needs to be done about these train costs?

I pretended to look at my watch then just before the beeps went I jumped back on the train, giving him no time to reach the next door and get back on. I was shaken but I am fine. I am just grateful that I had my wits about me and that I was able to think my way through it (7/10)

Of course, I know I could have imagined the whole thing but over the years Iโ€™ve learned to trust my instincts. This has been a far less common occurrence in my 50s than it was in my 20s and I am so much better at coping with it, but this happens to people every day (9/10)

He followed me (past many empty seats), sat directly opposite and stared intently at me. Many women will know well what goes though your mind at this point: the yoyo between thinking you must be imagining it and the creeping instinctive fear that you have become a target (4/10)

Iโ€™ve no idea what his intentions were but the scary thing was that even on a busy train in central London, he was unperturbed. I worry about who was next but I had nothing to report to the police as I was so busy avoiding his gaze that couldnโ€™t even say what he looked like (8/10)

Sure enough, he followed me when I got off (NB not a particularly popular station) so I started walking along the platform but then paused. This forced him to overtake me, so he also paused and looked over his shoulder (twice). He then also stopped walking (6/10)

I made no eye contact but as time went on, I instinctively felt he would follow me when I got off. My original plan was to walk some of the way, but it was pretty early and I knew the streets would still be quiet so, as I was getting increasingly nervous I concocted a plan (5/10)

It was one of those stations where there are two possible trains and you never know which is leaving first. There were no announcements so some of us were doing the usual hokey-cokey dance between the two. I just made it on to the right one as the doors closed (2/10)

muttered a mild frustration under my breath, which in retrospect seems to have been taken as a chat up line by a man standing nearby. He looked at me a bit oddly, so feeling a bit uncomfortable I walked down 2 full sections of the tube to find a seat away from him (3/10)

@Crowrivernet Even factoring in the lease payments we make for our electric car, it wins hands down in terms of cost. And people often donโ€™t have the luxury of booking in advance or knowing the time of their return. This means only the wealthy have choice/flexibility when traveling by train.

Iโ€™m sharing this to raise awareness. It came out of the blue and there is little research on why it happens. So, if you like swimming then make sure youโ€™re always with someone and you have a plan for getting out if you need to. And if you feel breathless, take it seriously 8/9

@pat_tissington Yep, quite a few replies that show how common it is. At best itโ€™s tedious and at worst itโ€™s terrifying.

Back in November I had a sports injury, further compounded by slipping on the ice just before Christmas. I honestly began to think I would never do a pain-free run ever again but this morning, I managed my first 10K in 6 months and absolutely not a twinge #running #patience

Thinking affectionately of the man who didnโ€™t like to be beaten by any practical challenge, including transporting 2 families & camping gear in the same car (& yes that is three of us sitting in the boot) #FathersDay

Which comedians do you remember and why? Iโ€™ve teamed up with @sophiescott and two undergraduate students to find out. Please take part in our study - itโ€™s fun and only takes 10-20 minutes!

After 9 years @ageukbarnet my extended term as a trustee has come to an end. Itโ€™s been an extraordinary privilege to work with this incredible team and to watch the charity go from strength to strength, offering so many important services for local residents

Had a lovely time at @BeachWoolacombe today and such glorious weather! Big shout out to Steveโ€™s Surf Hire who found my mum a chair & refreshments when they saw she was struggling to walk back to the car. That small act of kindness made such a difference to our day ๐ŸŒž

Even in a short interview like this, @matthaig1 shows how brilliantly and poetically he can hit the nail on the head. Thank you @jonmsutton for some great questions and for bringing Matt to @psychmag

Just finished reading this absolute gem. Although itโ€™s purportedly about leadership in all its forms, itโ€™s really just about being a decent human being. Very inspiring and wow, what an epilogue. Thank you @JohnAmaechi I will try to #hooverthelanding every day.
