@AnglianWater Our drinking water (Castle Road Colchester) has a distinctly fishy smell to it this morning. Is it safe to drink?

@greateranglia I need to buy a return ticket from Col Town to Liskeard with seat reservations from Paddington tomorrow, & from LSK to Pad on Friday. I couldn't do this just now (problems with ticket sales at CET) up to what time can I buy a tkt & get seat reservations.

@greateranglia Thanks, glad to hear this is just a one off alteration to the Saturday service

[angus bain @angus_bain]

@greateranglia Why are there no direct trains from Colchester Town to Liverpool St?

[angus bain @angus_bain]

@greateranglia My partner is stuck on a train that she was directed to take from Colchester to Witham. They aren't allowed to get off at Withamdue to overcrowding. What is being done to sort out this shambles?

[angus bain @angus_bain]

@greateranglia Thanks for the clarification, the system now shows the 13.35 as "on time" I presume that this is cancelled as well?

[angus bain @angus_bain]

@greateranglia
The live departure board for Colchester Town shows the 12.35 to London Liverpool Street is "on time" and hasn't been cancelled unlike preceding services. Does this mean you are expecting it to run?

[angus bain @angus_bain]

@greateranglia Thanks, the ticket office is often shut around the time the 9.35 comes in and doesn't open until it departs.

[angus bain @angus_bain]

@greateranglia Good morning, is the ticket machine at Colchester Town working?

[angus bain @angus_bain]

@greateranglia Thanks for the info, I see the 9.18 is running past the engineering works, fingers X'd the 10.18 will do the same.

@greateranglia We were planning to travel to Norwich on the 10.17 from Colchester this morning, we need to get to Norwich before 12.00. Is this service still running? Should we catch an earlier train to get to Norwich before 12 as things stand?

My DPhil supervisor and great friend for 45 years, Professor Tony McCaffery died on May 13th aged 89. An obituary written with friends will appear on the University of Sussex website. A shorter version for Molecular Dynamics News is attached here.

@greateranglia All sorted waiting for the refund to appear in my account. Thanks for your assistance.

@greateranglia Hi I have just been buying hare fare tickets & somehow I've accidentally booked 3 tickets for the same return journey, I was having some problems with the times and went back into the website twice, it seems to have remembered my two previous visits. Can you help?

I just realised that Neville was way ahead of Ken #BarbieTheMovie with his "Meowjo Dojo Casa Box" December 2019 when he adopted us. The Box has varied with time but is still Nev's MeowjoDojoCasa. Not to be confused with his MeowjoDojoCasaFlowerpot.

@Eurostar You have cancelled today's 9.31 Eurostar to Paris, we are booked on this train on March 27th, if the strikes roll on daily and our train is cancelled will you be able to re-book us on a later service that day?
