@British_Airways Funny that - my wife flew back from Faro on Sunday and the check in was open 2h30m before departure.

[IbbleDibble @IbbleDibble1]

@British_Airways - arrived in HER and the crew advised on potential delays due to EES for both departures and arrivals.

How long before departure are the check in desks open at HER? We're on the 1610 BA2759 on 18-Oct.

[IbbleDibble @IbbleDibble1]

@British_Airways Can I just double check that it's still only 2 hours prior to departure?

That seems awfully short and I've heard reports that some check ins were behind opened 2h30m prior to departure, especially in longer flights and larger aircraft, such as an A321 on a 4h25m flight.

[IbbleDibble @IbbleDibble1]

@HighwaysSEAST Thank you for taking the time to explain all of that.

We'll travel the day before and stay in a hotel at Gatwick as we can't estimate the journey times.

[IbbleDibble @IbbleDibble1]

@HighwaysSEAST

Can you confirm is the ACW M25 will be completely shut for this? If so, what is the diversion route?

Travelling from Jnct 16 to Jnct 7.

[IbbleDibble @IbbleDibble1]

@HighwaysSEAST Is this also a full closure?

If so, is the diversion to exit at 15, go along the M4, and double back to rejoin at 15 entry?

[IbbleDibble @IbbleDibble1]

@HighwaysSEAST Thank you for confirming the closure.

This will make it interesting to plan for an early flight out of LGW with no diversion information.

@chilternrailway An announcement from the driver before we departed MYB would have been nice.

[IbbleDibble @IbbleDibble1]

@chilternrailway 1540 MYB departure. Still not left and no announcements.

[IbbleDibble @IbbleDibble1]

@chilternrailway Thank you for the reply.

Could a maintenance request be raised for the TVM?

Also, as the rainy autumn months are coming, are there any updates on the requests for a waiting shelter on the MRS platform?

[IbbleDibble @IbbleDibble1]

@chilternrailway TVM at MRS is out of service. Pre-booked tickets via work cannot be collected.

I'll have to go to Excess Fares at MYB now, which will cause me to miss an onward connection.

I hope this is Delay Repay eligible.

[IbbleDibble @IbbleDibble1]

@chilternrailway Thank you for the swift reply and confirmation.

[IbbleDibble @IbbleDibble1]

@chilternrailway Why oh why have you switched the heating on? 2040 MYB to OXF is boiling hot. It's still summer; being back the air conditioning!

[IbbleDibble @IbbleDibble1]

@chilternrailway *bring

[IbbleDibble @IbbleDibble1]

@chilternrailway There's an abandoned pedal cycle with damage to it on the platform towards the London end at MRS this morning.

[IbbleDibble @IbbleDibble1]

@chilternrailway No problems at all. These types of delays are understandable and with a bit of running, I still made my connections.

[IbbleDibble @IbbleDibble1]

@PlutoTV - bit of a mess of a platform. Trying to watch a film and getting video stuttering.

Ad break, miss the resumption so rewind. Get another ad break. Film plays 30 seconds, another ad break.

@primevideouk - stop recommending this rubbish on my FireTV. I'd rather pay.
