@LNRailway @FloraFyles Ooh - new as in new seats? I haven't seen any which have been refurbished yet? Seems quite crazy on the 350s though - suddenly an area that anyone could sit in is now being charged out at an extra cost without any improvement?!

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

@LNRailway @FloraFyles @LNRailway Hi - did anyone see this question last night?

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

@LNRailway @FloraFyles Are these new improved seats/with extra amenities on our trains? I haven't see any yet...

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

@LNRailway Even more ridiculous, the late running (intermediate stops cancelled) 8.56 from Berkhamsted has now followed the 9.00 all stations from Berkhamsted all the way into Euston, so cancelling the stops has achieved nothing other than cramming more people onto one train!

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

@LNRailway Running both the 8.45 and 8.56 from Berkhamsted to Euston fast Tring - Watford because they're a bit late is just rude to all of us standing on the platform in the rain watching them fly through - we'd all prefer a late train than no train!

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

@LNRailway Thanks!

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

@LNRailway Morning, the 8.30 from Berkhamsted to Euston was 5 coaches instead of the usual 10 - is this a change, or just a short form for today? Thanks!

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

@LNRailway Thanks James - if that's the case for 1-3 I would suggest it needs reviewing by station management. Please do pass the comments on, and I'll make a formal complaint as well.

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

@LNRailway This is happening all the time now - there are about 4 trains arriving in 5 minutes on platforms 8-11 between (timetabled) 8.20 and 8.30. As a result it's taking 10 minutes to get through the barriers. One or two trains need to be sent to another platform area! (1)

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

@LNRailway ... hang back for a few minutes and then they're through without issues. Given the above - and that I am uneasy about the safety of the situation - could you pass these comments on to someone, and make sure they're noted? Thanks (3)

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

@LNRailway ... thousands of pounds per year) by 5-10 minutes every day, penalising your honest customers, and thirdly, every day without fail once we've been crushed around the barriers for several minutes, gate line staff open them anyway, meaning all fare dodgers need to do is ... (2)

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

@LNRailway I'm genuinely concerned the crowding around the barriers is unsafe... (2)

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

@LNRailway It means of course that the 18.06 will quote unnecessarily affect your punctuality statistics...

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

@LNRailway Not your fault this one, but when the 18.06 from Euston is slightly (i.e. 2-3m late) it's repeatedly held to let the 18.09 stopper out on front of it, meaning it's consistently delayed. Does no one think about this kind of thing at signalling? Surely it makes... (1)

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

@LNRailway Thanks for replying - it's not that complex though, the 18.06 was ready to go and it just needed a bit of flexibility of thinking! Again, appreciate it's a Network Rail question really...

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

... more sense to let it out first and delay the 18.09 by a minute or two - that way the 18.06 won't show up as a late train (+5m) which it inevitably does when running behind the 18.09? Not sure if this is something you can pass on as it's v frustrating!

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

Been here 7 minutes and still haven't got off the platform...

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

@LNRailway Platforms 8-11 a complete joke every morning at Euston now - 3 x packed trains arriving in 6 minutes (8.21, 8.22, and 8.27)? The crush at the barriers is dangerous,unless there's a delay/change of platform. One of the LNR services needs to go to another platform area!

[Chris Larkin @Daimler3996]

@LNRailway Morning, how many coaches are on the 7.55 from Berkhamsted to Euston today? Thanks!
