Now @OtherProfGreen.bsky.social in preference to … gestures … this 🗑️🔥

@TLRailUK You cancelled the 7:25 from BAB. You then made it look like a Cambridge train would make an additional stop at 7:34 but it didn’t, it shot straight through at full speed. What are you playing at?

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

@SouthernRailUK I’m pretty certain I did that

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

@SouthernRailUK I’ve had several delay repay claims declined because “ticket not valid for journey”. I resubmitted but declined again. This is ridiculous and insulting. I have an annual season ticket for any permitted route to Z1-6. It is valid, it operates the gates. Help !!

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

@GatwickExpress
Only 4 coaches on a peak service like 17:29. Ridiculous. these were all 12-coach services pre-pandemic. What have you done with all the stock. You only have about 60% of it in use each day and you are still short-forming.

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

@SouthernRailUK I’ve not had any reply on this issue. What gives?

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

This nonsense has got to stop @TLRailUK . 7:25 from BAB cancelled AGAIN. Lots of people at the station waiting for it; we all checked the App over breakfast and it showed as running but get to the station and it’s not.

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

@SouthernRailUK can you please get this down pipe fixed at back of old waiting shelter on platform 1 at Balcombe. Pipe is blocked and water squirts out of the joint.

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

I’ve been delayed every morning this week by at least 30 minute and today will be well over an hour.

We’ll done everyone @networkrail @NetworkRailSE @TLRailUK @SouthernRailUK @GatwickExpress

It’s been a blast. Shall we get together next week and do it all again?

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

@TLRailUK That’s now showing on the app. Thanks. I might make the class I’m teaching almost on time.

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

You’re at it again @TLRailUK, two consecutive north bound trains cancelled leaving a 1.5 hour service gap. No sign with an additional stop on one of the non-stopping services.

Why do you hate Balcombe so much?

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

@TLRailUK Or one of yours on the Cambridge route. Thanks

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

@networkrail don’t you think some sort of apology is in order for the way you’ve borked the Brighton Mainline this week. Lots of services cancelled and many others delayed because your infrastructure has failed but you’re hiding behind puff pieces about other parts of the network

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

@TLRailUK Thank you Will

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

@TLRailUK what are you playing at! 07:25 and 07:55 north from Balcombe cancelled. Not departures form more than an hour. To add insult to injury, the 7:55 runs through without stopping. Signs say use alternative services. There are none. TL is the only “service”.

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

@TLRailUK Also, please get a BlueSky account so I don’t have to come back to this sewer just to talk to you.

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

@TLRailUK I’d guess 7:18. The display at the top of the steps said cancelled and showed nothing else until 7:55 so I turned round and went home for 30 mins to be in the warm. Train must have been cancelled at Brighton before 6:55 I’d guess.

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

@TLRailUK Well I didn’t see that. It wasn’t on the boards when I was at the stations so I went home. That will have killed my delay repay and yet not done me any good.

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

And of course the ticket office is closed today (looking at you @SouthernRailUK) so there is no one to help get another service to stop.

[Tim Green @OtherProfGreen]

None of the excuse ring true. We’ve had notices of driver shortage, signal failure and passenger causing disturbance. What is really going on?

[Jess Ralston @jessralston2]

Seeing lots of stories about BLACKOUT BRITAIN

...maybe let's look at what *actually* happened on Wednesday, when National Grid issued 2 notices to generators

(basically asking them to make more power available)

1) the Capacity Market Notice was cancelled within 31 mins‼️
