"How disappointing that the rail regulator has caved in to the moaning minnies and reinstated the 7am Manchester to London as a passenger service (People had forgotten about it': onboard the 7am Manchester-London train service saved from axe, 4 December). Here was a brilliant idea being piloted before adoption across the rail network. Gone now is the dream of an efficient rail service unencumbered by the demands of so-called humans and their messy ways. Dr David Webster Crewe Crewe, Cheshire"
"It's reassuring that the protesters chose a patriotic apple crumble and custard to attack the crown jewels at the Tower of London (Tower of London reopens after apple crumble thrown at crown jewels display, 6 December). Had they chosen a foreign tiramisu, strudel or baklava, it would have been a serious matter indeed. Jim Watson Stroud, Gloucestershire Surely there can be no better boost to rugby union than giving the Fifa peace prize to Donald Trump (Report, 5 December). Peter Dewar Bromley, London"
The 7am Manchester-London passenger service was reinstated, provoking criticism that the decision abandons a pilot for a more efficient timetable. Concerns are raised about dog greetings causing serious injuries and that offering hot sweet tea can delay anaesthesia. Protesters threw an apple crumble and custard at the crown jewels display, with commentary noting the choice of a patriotic dessert rather than a foreign one. A sarcastic link is made between awarding the Fifa peace prize to Donald Trump and boosting rugby union. An Alabama building named Mobile library is cited as an inapt place name.
