@GNRailUK Thank you 🙂

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@GNRailUK Missed train yesterday and was hour late - level crossing barriers stuck at Downham Market (engineers had to be called out) and it’s then a 10min walk/run through 2x housing estates to get to the London-bound platform. No option on Delay Repay for that - what do I do?

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@waspboro1 @GNRailUK Same 🫠

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@GNRailUK Where is the 20:48 from Kings Cross to King’s Lynn? Don’t know whether to wait or try St Pancras as there’s no information as to if or when it will leave

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@mircomusolesi @TomWils12084101 @GNRailUK @JrH69h ‘problem at the depot’ ‘operational issues’ 🫠

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@TomWils12084101 @GNRailUK @JrH69h The guy at my station said it was ongoing overhead wires problems. I don’t know who to believe any more

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@GNRailUK @alexbrown1987 Great that’s another 3 hours lost today. Don’t tell me: fault on the train/no staff/overhead wire issues/signalfailure/‘problem at the depot’/‘operational issue’

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@GNRailUK @alexbrown1987 I just came from London KC on the stopping service. The next two trains to Ely will be in too late to make this bus. Are there any more? Taxi? Again, to Downham Market

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@Rylan Desperate people arriving on boats used to be called refugees. Those who sought refuge from war and famine and disaster. Have a heart. Go and meet some of these people before you make blanket judgements

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@GNRailUK Ok i’m assuming station staff at Ely will be putting people in taxis then as theres no other way to complete the journey unless buses have been laid on

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@GNRailUK i’m on the 16:39 from london kings x heading for Downham Marjet. On the trainline it’s showing as cancelled from Waterbesch but there’s been no announcement on the train - it’s still saying going to Kings Lynn. Can you advise?

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@GNRailUK Thanks - I use GN a lot and access to live info and help is incredibly useful, but at this point it’s really the only reason here

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@GNRailUK do you have any plans to join Threads or Bluesky?

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@GNRailUK @Jwiiimiiin I’m currently on a train to Cambridge but trying to get to Downham Market. Am i right in thinking we have to wait for a train Cambridge-Ely and then pick up a bus, or are there any running direct from Cambridge?

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@EastMidRailway Thanks. Btw why is the train i’m on being terminated at Nottingham? It’s not like the points failure is there, the train was delayed around Manchester. Now there’s nothing wrong apart from it’s late

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@EastMidRailway my train to Ely has been cancelled at Sheffield because of points failure, i get on the 12:40 to Norwich instead? Is there any chance that will be cancelled too?

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@RoundhouseLDN for Paraorchestra, can you tell me what time the concert is due to start? Can see doors are at 7pm but I can't get there that early

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@higgledygarden If I wanted to do this, can i just put cardboard over grass, then compost and seeds and water? Or would i need to turn the turf over?

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@GNRailUK Just got a 10:15 replacement bus service from Cambridge to Ely to pick up the Kings Lynn train. As the bus pulled in, the train pulled out of the station. Now there’s a hour to wait. Could someone not have phoned through and held the train for 1 minute?

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@tfwrail Ok, thank you Holly

[BeckieC 💙 @KTmarmot]

@tfwrail is there a backlog on delay repay claims atm?
