@TLRailUK Was on the 19.23 from Peterborough trying to get to Huntingdon. We’ve been moved onto a different train which is supposed to be the 19.53… but no movement and a lot of increasingly annoyed passengers…

@TLRailUK sat on a Thameslink train at Peterborough… arrived on time but it’s been sat in the station with no updates… another train pulls in… which to get on? No announcements and station staff not in evidence…
