The idea that we feel better about life in the morning (Scientists find that things really do seem better in the morning, 5 February) is not new. In the ancient Hebrew psalms (English Book of Common Prayer, psalm 30:5) we read: “Heaviness may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

• Your article (‘So patronising’: rail bosses spark anger by hiding train departure times, 6 February) provoked a very hollow laugh here in Durham, given the hilarious “advice” that I’ve been offered when unable to legally board the last, 23.09, train to Newcastle because the ticket office is closed and the ticket machine won’t sell me a ticket after 23.04.
