Planning railway projects | Ringing bells in Suffolk

To mark the opening of the Northern line Extension I've created a celebratory poster in the style of McKnight Kauffer's 1932 advert.
I've been part of the @TfL team delivering the NLE since 2018, so this a proud tribute to the efforts of all those who have worked on the project.

Local government reorganisation in Suffolk... nothing ever changes...Western Suffolk a near mirror of the Liberty of St Edmund, the area under the control of the Abbey of St Edmund, created by Edward the Confessor by his Royal Charter Grant of the Eight and a Half Hundreds, 1044

@greateranglia I'm going to BSE getting the 2148 from KGX to CBG, it's been delayed so I'll miss the connection which is the last of the evening 2248. Can Cambridge be made aware that onward travel is required please?

[Neal Dodge @DodgeNeal]

@greateranglia Yes it does still apply FYI, flexibility for the last three services, had it confirmed by LST staff

[Neal Dodge @DodgeNeal]

@greateranglia hi! Is it still the case that there's flexibility on Advance tickets for any of the last 3 services LST-NRW? e.g. if I bought an Advance single for the 2130 I would be able to travel without penalty on either the 2230 or the 2330? Thanks!

[Neal Dodge @DodgeNeal]

@greateranglia I'm aware that is usually the case but for a period there was (or is) flexibility for the last three mainline services from London to NRW as the tweeted quote above confirms. Which conductors still very recently still announce. I'm trying to establish of this rule applies now.

[Neal Dodge @DodgeNeal]

@greateranglia So this 'easement' no longer applies? https://t.co/XxtgpqKOJU

Often conductors will announce it

[Greater Anglia @greateranglia]

@auciel HI there, yes this is possible. ^Russ

[Neal Dodge @DodgeNeal]

@greateranglia
The last train from London (KGX) to Cambridge that connects to the train to Bury has been cancelled. 2139 from KGX. Now on the 2209 due into Cambridge at 2302. Please let Cambridge know that taxis will be needed. Cheers.

[Neal Dodge @DodgeNeal]

@greateranglia Thank you.

[Neal Dodge @DodgeNeal]

@greateranglia can the 2247 Cambridge to Ipswich service be held for passengers on the train from Kings Cross, it's running 17m late and due into Cambridge at 2247.
Its the last Ipswich service of the evening.

[Neal Dodge @DodgeNeal]

@greateranglia I can see the train has left, very disappointing. I understood your connections policy was to always hold the last train, especially as in this case the gap is less than 10 mins.

[Neal Dodge @DodgeNeal]

@greateranglia the kings Cross train that connects to the last train from Cambridge to Newmarket/Bury (2247 to Ipswich) is being delayed currently due in to Cambridge at 2257 will you hold the connection given its the last service please?

[Neal Dodge @DodgeNeal]

@greateranglia It is the last service of the day, if not held alternative transport will be needed.

[Neal Dodge @DodgeNeal]

@greateranglia Need to make this connection https://t.co/rMhF1E1rMk

[Neal Dodge @DodgeNeal]

@greateranglia 21:39 from KGX https://t.co/ol6drtf7Gt

[Neal Dodge @DodgeNeal]

@BaberghDistrict Should that be independent gain? Despite it being the same person in 2019 they were elected as a Conservative.

[Neal Dodge @DodgeNeal]

@greateranglia No worries, all sorted now.

[Neal Dodge @DodgeNeal]

@greateranglia due to the bridge strike at Thurston I trust my ticket to LST (advance via Cambridge to LST on GA) would be valid from Stowmarket as I can myself there?

[Neal Dodge @DodgeNeal]

@greateranglia currently on the 2100 LST to NRW stopped at Colchester. Going to Bury St Edmunds, so changing at Ipswich, will the 2221 Ipswich to Bury be held or run at all?

[Neal Dodge @DodgeNeal]

@greateranglia with the delays at #pondersend will GA tickets from Cambridge be accepted on Great Northern/Thameslink services?
