There’s clearly only one answer to this question… lol… seriously, great publications one and all! #WorldBookDay

@GC_Rail Thanks. We have started moving after a long delay but crew haven’t made an announcement.

[Mark Elliott @Markselliott68]

@GC_Rail can I have an ETA on the train I am stuck on outside Stevenage? Was due at King’s Cross at 13.53.

[Mark Elliott @Markselliott68]

@CrossCountryUK @EastMidRailway Ticket says cross country. No idea what service so assumed yours from ticket. Thanks. We are now moving. Some delay due to extra carriages for predictably overcrowded train. Not stopping at Sheffield so hoping that makes up time. No explanation as to why not stopping, of course

[Mark Elliott @Markselliott68]

@CrossCountryUK why am I stuck in Nottingham on platform 7 waiting? This is the 15.24 from Peterborough to Manchester.

[Mark Elliott @Markselliott68]

@CrossCountryUK @EastMidRailway Thanks. My ticket says Cross Country.

@LNER any idea why the 23.00 from king cross to Peterborough isn’t moving? Train manager doesn’t seem to know either!

[Mark Elliott @Markselliott68]

@LNER So not moving very soon then. Next might be hours. I am aware we are next. We are stuck on the platform

[Mark Elliott @Markselliott68]

@LNER our train has been stuck at Stevenage for over an hour. No sense of how much longer. What is the plan? Another appalling journey - incredibly the worst I have ever had and there have been many terrible experiences

[Mark Elliott @Markselliott68]

@LNER You have just said ‘moving very soon’. Therefore you seem to know something, unless that is just a standard line. Please clarify?

[Mark Elliott @Markselliott68]

@LNER Can you ask your driver to communicate with us, please?

[Mark Elliott @Markselliott68]

@LNER Appalling lack of communication

[Mark Elliott @Markselliott68]

@LNER #Grantham Please advise why you are saying this disruption expected until 21.30? Need a Peterborough ETA on train I am stuck on, 19.03 to Leeds

[Mark Elliott @Markselliott68]

@LNER How can that be? Am just outside Peterborough and surely you can work out what needs to clear in front? National Rail app no help either. Please advise

[Mark Elliott @Markselliott68]

@LNER what time can I expect the 19.03 from kings cross to Leeds to arrive at Peterborough?

[Mark Elliott @Markselliott68]

@MUC_Airport @bpol_by With respect, it is your airport and the queue was too long and badly managed. The passport control officers had to come out to try to control the crowds!

[Mark Elliott @Markselliott68]

Terrible waits at @MUC_Airport . Worst queue for passport control I have ever experienced. What is going on?

[Mark Elliott @Markselliott68]

Pretty grim service yet again @HeathrowAirport Long delay waiting for jetty bridge to plane, despite landing on time. Beginning to wonder if you will ever get on top of issues here.

[Mark Elliott @Markselliott68]

@GNRailUK Thanks for checking reason. Important the track is safe, but the endless disruption on this line beyond Cambridge is beyond any measure of reasonable. I can no longer routinely use my nearest station, Downham Market, due to the habitual unreliability

[Mark Elliott @Markselliott68]

@GNRailUK why is 11.12 to Ely delayed, please? Yet another delay on this terrible service that never seems to operate as scheduled
