@luca_skarlo Loved that place - we went regularly when we lived up the road! Now I need to book a visit very soon, thanks for the reminder!

@tomhfh Oxford and Cambridge refuse to be connected by motorway. They insist on rowing boats. It's tradition.

@Se_Railway Ah makes sense, thank you for the context and resolving my curiosity when commuting! 🚋

[Nadhim Orfali @_fenka]

@Se_Railway every day this week so far, my train from/to Charing X was stopping or delayed. Just curious - was it because of the new timetable changes? My morning train is earlier (which is great) but due to stopping, I actually arrive later

[Nadhim Orfali @_fenka]

@Se_Railway I see but same issue on Monday and yesterday in both directions though? I might be wrong but it feels like the new timetable is somehow affecting the service reliability so far or maybe coincidence!

Only a few mins but every day both directions and it all adds up unfortunately.

[Nadhim Orfali @_fenka]

@Se_Railway No worries - it’s the Charing X - Hayes line.

[Nadhim Orfali @_fenka]

@Se_Railway Once the Charing Cross works is completed, will the Hayes train services revert to the original timetable?

[Nadhim Orfali @_fenka]

@Se_Railway Thanks for the update, appreciated. At least the train is nice with a fully working aircon! 😅

[Nadhim Orfali @_fenka]

@Se_Railway just wanted to give a quick shout out - the current 17:48 train from LB to Hayes is busy but great aircon and all clean.

@DVSAgovuk the UI isn’t intuitive and not feasible to login and check driving tests availability before site breaks. Is there a feature soon to allow learners to sign up for alerts directly from you so at least less load on the servers?

[Nadhim Orfali @_fenka]

@Se_Railway Is it because the trains like mine are old with old aircon tech?

[Nadhim Orfali @_fenka]

@Se_Railway are there any reported aircon issues? On the 17:31 Hayes train from London Bridge, carriage 65862 - it’s awfully warm even with the windows open

[Nadhim Orfali @_fenka]

@Se_Railway Sorry that was in jest 😉

[Nadhim Orfali @_fenka]

@Se_Railway I’m on the 18:18 train from London Bridge to Hayes - could you ask the driver to turn the heating off and switch to aircon? It’s boiling here

[Nadhim Orfali @_fenka]

@Se_Railway Any chance of a trolley service with ice cold beer to cool us down?

[Nadhim Orfali @_fenka]

@Se_Railway 64331

[Nadhim Orfali @_fenka]

@Se_Railway Unsure - the train from LB was a 17:59 one which arrived a bit delayed.

[Nadhim Orfali @_fenka]

@Se_Railway on the Hayes train - but is diverted to Orpington. Any reason why on the displays weren’t updated to reflect this? Folks couldn’t hear the announcement well and it’s too late to get off the train.

[Nadhim Orfali @_fenka]

@Se_Railway No worries - tree falling etc is out of your control, just would have been nice to see announcements on the boards too. Hope to see better and accurate onboard messaging so everyone can benefit.

[Nadhim Orfali @_fenka]

@Se_Railway No changes on the train boards. Not great for accessibility, to be honest. Now I’m on the Orpington train back towards London.
