@chilternrailway Hi @chilternrailway what do I put on the form regarding the 19.36 when making a claim when I arrived at the station and couldn’t board until the 20.02. I will be about 35 minutes late. Thank you.

[Martin Hayden 💚 @MartinHayden75]

@chilternrailway Hi Chiltern. I arrived at 19.20 for the 19.36 and I’m at the back of a queue for the 20.02. I expect I can claim delay repay being a Chiltern Annual season ticket holder. Thank you.

[Martin Hayden 💚 @MartinHayden75]

@chilternrailway Great thank you. I have a delay repay account. Scheduled time is 21.24 into Solihull. 👍

[Martin Hayden 💚 @MartinHayden75]

@chilternrailway 12805 was the number thank you.

[Martin Hayden 💚 @MartinHayden75]

@chilternrailway I’m on the 18.37 from Marylebone in the rear DVT carriage. The air coming from the air conditioning is very cold making for a draughty and uncomfortable journey. This is made worse by the window vents. Thank you.

[Martin Hayden 💚 @MartinHayden75]

@chilternrailway I’ll let you know when I get off as I think the number is on the outside only. It’s a Mark 5a Coach A 👍

[Martin Hayden 💚 @MartinHayden75]

@chilternrailway As requested the car number is 58156 the leading car in the unit. Many thanks.

[Martin Hayden 💚 @MartinHayden75]

@chilternrailway Hi Chiltern Railways. Can you please ask your maintenance staff to look at the power sockets on refurbished unit 168106. The power hasn’t been working for at least a month on this unit. Thank you.

[Martin Hayden 💚 @MartinHayden75]

@chilternrailway I will do when I’m getting off but I think it is the whole train. 👍

[Martin Hayden 💚 @MartinHayden75]

@JamesMelville I remember the test card and the @rte test card too.

[Martin Hayden 💚 @MartinHayden75]

@kenafox Ken my advice is to get to 667 quickly. 👍

[Martin Hayden 💚 @MartinHayden75]

@amielbakshi I was in Euston yesterday because of issues on Chiltern and it looked excellent. Now please do the same at Waterloo. 👍

@transportgovuk @HS2ltd We should really reconsider the HS1 to HS2 link as it would be more economical to construct as one project. This would allow direct services from the midlands and north to the continent but also high speed services direct to Kent with no need to change in London.

[Martin Hayden 💚 @MartinHayden75]

@abazoo_ @MartinSLewis I disagree. In summer central England would have sunset at 8.30pm on GMT and sunrise at 3.45am GMT. On BST it’s one hour ahead. If we were on Double BST sunset would be 10.30pm and sunrise at 5.45am. We would dramatically reduce the need for artificial light on summer evenings.

[Martin Hayden 💚 @MartinHayden75]

@MartinSLewis Because we are so far north there is an argument for double British summertime. We waste lots of light in the morning in summer and if we were 2 hours forward we would have light until after 10pm in central and southern England.

[Martin Hayden 💚 @MartinHayden75]

@MartinSLewis I live in England but I’m Irish. Ireland at 7.5 degrees west is 30 minutes behind from London and the west of Ireland is 10 degrees west. Therefore same problem as Scotland and no sense with Ireland and Northern Ireland on different times zones so we need GMT in winter.

[Martin Hayden 💚 @MartinHayden75]

@chilternrailway On the next train from Leamington so wait was only 9 minutes. Sorry for my frustration. Just tired after a long day at work. Hopefully you sort the latest problems at GX soon. 👍

[Martin Hayden 💚 @MartinHayden75]

@chilternrailway I’m on the 18.37 from
Marylebone going to Solihull and I see that you are going to run fast from Leamington. Is it fair this late dumping passengers in Leamington to wait for the next train? I will end up being about 110 minutes late but can only claim for 60.

@AppleSupport I want to protect the new passwords app in iOS18. I tried using screen time but if I reboot the phone I get 'One More Minute'. I set it so that it only allows One Minute one day per week but it allows One minute after Midnight daily. How can I protect my passwords?
