I run a bit, I cycle a bit, I swim a bit, sometimes together as a Tri, love the mountains can get political VMO

@ShaunDaviesMP are you going to do something about this any time soon???

[This Guy Runs @JEDtheRunner]

How is this acceptable from @WestMidRailway - the 7:37, 8:22 & 8:31 services to Birmingham New Street are all cancelled due to a “shortage of train crew”

As a result, I’ve now got to go from Telford - pay more for the train ticket and pay for parking - double my commuting costs

[This Guy Runs @JEDtheRunner]

@WestMidRailway @arrivamidlandsW @tfwrail Is there any eta on when this will reopen?

[This Guy Runs @JEDtheRunner]

@ShaunDaviesMP This needs to happen quickly!! It’s affecting residents all over the borough with an extremely poor service to the rest of the West Midlands

[This Guy Runs @JEDtheRunner]

@ShaunDaviesMP @transport_wales @WestMidRailway This kind of thing was also done when Lucy Allen was in office - what commitments can you give residents that it won’t just fall in to a black hole of nothing in the future. We need action on the train lines and for the managing companies to be held accountable

[This Guy Runs @JEDtheRunner]

@tfwrail @WestMidRailway @ShaunDaviesMP @TelfordWrekin when are you going to do something about the absolutely atrocious “service” (not) provided by @tfwrail - how can they be allowed to announce at 8pm that no trains will run the following day… how does a train company have a shortage of trains???

@RoyalMailHelp I’m struggling to track a parcel online. Is the system not working??

[This Guy Runs @JEDtheRunner]

@WestMidRailway @ShaunDaviesMP @TelfordWrekin My point from a previous reply is above… a “not my problem” response!

[This Guy Runs @JEDtheRunner]

@jimgiggs @WestMidRailway @ShaunDaviesMP @TelfordWrekin @networkrail I get @networkrail are in charge of the lines - but they can be lobbied by the TOC’s and MP’s - and this is half of the problem… none of them take action as they’re all too busy blaming each other

[This Guy Runs @JEDtheRunner]

@WestMidRailway Can you please tell me why the 7:37 - Shifnal to B’Ham new street is cancelled?

[This Guy Runs @JEDtheRunner]

@WestMidRailway Again - missing the point - what’s the time you’re planning to do this???

And let’s be real here - it’s not like there’s a raging torrent of water over flowing places… it’s mainly the station in Wellington, so you could stand on the platform and decide that

[This Guy Runs @JEDtheRunner]

@WestMidRailway I understand that - but surely you know what time you’re inspecting the tracks and providing an update - people need to commute and if your inspection isn’t until 9am could make alternative arrangements if they know the times

[This Guy Runs @JEDtheRunner]

@WestMidRailway Do you have an estimated timetable? All trains just showing as “cancelled” at the moment

[This Guy Runs @JEDtheRunner]

@tfwrail What about flooding in Wellington?

[This Guy Runs @JEDtheRunner]

@lizslayed People need to think about the flip side of this - which is, if it become unsustainable for landlords to have rentals - then the properties get sold… if that happens, where will people who rent and can’t afford to buy just yet live?

[This Guy Runs @JEDtheRunner]

@lizslayed You say you’ve been in your property for 5 years and it’s gone up by 67% since you’ve moved in - that’s an average of 13.5% each year.
