• The transport secretary was reported as telling the Guardian that in his view the £5.2bn-a-year state subsidy for rail users is unsustainable, and predicting reluctance among taxpayers to "continually increase the level of subsidy that they give to the relatively small number of people who ever use trains". Our headline, however, went a step further than what the interviewee said when it summarised this as: Public subsidy for rail users must end, says Hammond (19 May, page 9).

• An error in a Q&A panel had David Attenborough seeming to refer to Charles Darwin's seminal work – On the Origin of Species – as "The Origin Of The Species" (My most treasured possession? My front door key, 14 May, page 10, Weekend).

• In today's magazine interview with actor Nicholas Hoult (21 May, page 44, Weekend), a great-aunt of Hoult and his siblings is said to be a hugely popular British actor. But the name has gone missing – the late Anna Neagle.

• In a set of football photos taken at matches involving Manchester City over the years, the most recent purported to show the club's 2011 semi-final win over Manchester United. As a reader notes, that picture was actually from the Manchester derby at Old Trafford on 10 February 2008, soon after the 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster (Thirty-five years and we're still here – ready to sing and cry, 14 May, Sport, pages 2-3).
