@c2c_Rail whats going on at FST, we were told the 1722 will leave but we are not moving. Yet the train on P1 now is apparently going to leave?

@c2c_Rail The entire gateline to the right of the ticket offices has been closed all of yesterday and today with a load of scaffolding. What's caused it as it just recently opened

[London Connected Blog @LConnectedBlog]

@c2c_Rail why has half of Barking Station been closed again?

[London Connected Blog @LConnectedBlog]

@c2c_Rail So what can people do from Limehouse?

[London Connected Blog @LConnectedBlog]

@c2c_Rail Thank you

@c2c_Rail why on earth has the 0817 off BKG stopped outside BKG

@c2c_Rail Hello, this is Barking

[London Connected Blog @LConnectedBlog]

@c2c_Rail have you considered displaying Underground departures on the concourse so people know which platform to dash to? There was a mad stampede across platforms once people realised the next train is P3 and it is very dangerous.

@irabukht You can do it with just one layover in London, Paris or Frankfurt, you don't need 2-4

@WasSamLowryEsq @Wren_Poltics @doctor_rahmeh So just like the St John's Ambulance then?

[London Connected Blog @LConnectedBlog]

@freshlybakedbro @Wren_Poltics @doctor_rahmeh Sounds like you are

[London Connected Blog @LConnectedBlog]

@Tinebobagain @Wren_Poltics @doctor_rahmeh and I assume you know it costs more than 45K to staff the equivalent NHS ones right?

[London Connected Blog @LConnectedBlog]

@freshlybakedbro @Wren_Poltics @doctor_rahmeh Why would you want to contact an ambulance with only 4 vans which is probably based miles away from where you are when you have the entire NHS fleet. But anyway like I said if you'd rather wait ages when in a life threatening condition the numbers are in this chain 😂

[London Connected Blog @LConnectedBlog]

@Wren_Poltics @doctor_rahmeh I don't know if you're just smooth brained. But funnily enough if Hatzola are going to staff an entire ambulance off their own back, that's an ambulance and an NHS crew that the general public have available to them.

@jackie_bus @SincerelyTops @Sarel_x Guy breaks law, guy gets arrested for breaking law. What is Lammy meant to do here?

@Paulgway2 @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK Where would be the middle of nowhere on the Victoria Line then?

[London Connected Blog @LConnectedBlog]

@Paulgway2 @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK Can it not be dealt with a PSA that's walking up and down the train and actually earning their wage as opposed to being sat there doing nothing and being paid for it?

[London Connected Blog @LConnectedBlog]

@Paulgway2 @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK Not sure, you seem to think you know a lot. Can I read your book please?

[London Connected Blog @LConnectedBlog]

@Paulgway2 @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK But my point is that it's not about what the driver does or doesn't know, the point is that a driver won't evacuate a train by themselves as the ratio of 1:800 people is not a safe ratio.

[London Connected Blog @LConnectedBlog]

@Paulgway2 @dunn_outdoors @CDPL1 @WillCalverleyUK I have a knowledge on the economy and have a considerable background in safety.

Sounds like you are the keyboard warrior to me 🤔
