@Se_Railway @DaveyMcGravy1 That's not true. You cancelled everything between Margate and faversham! Took us 5 hours to get home and a lot of unnecessary hassle because you don't communicate properly 😡

I've decided to step back from posting here. This site used to be amazing, but it's now little more than a thought-bubble for the far-right. The role Twitter played in the riots in the UK was the final straw. You can find me at https://t.co/tAsFSSt9hG
