Hi @GWRHelp, I'm on 1C28 18.34 to Weston Super Mare. The base of seat 31 in coach C has become detached and needs a look at. Cheers.

One of the railway’s aims is to deliver better customer service. Much of the operating timetable is set many months in advance. But there is also a need to make very-short-term plans. Sometimes just hours in the future. This may be a solution.>>https://t.co/kiMx7S8xsT
