Wow no reply
Looks like a network meltdown again!

[benborthwick @benborthwick]

@TLRailUK any idea what’s going on? Driver says signalling / power supply issues…?

[benborthwick @benborthwick]

@TLRailUK Perhaps useful to inform your drivers what’s going on? I’m on the 0721 from Leagrave to Farringdon and our driver has zero information.

[benborthwick @benborthwick]

@TLRailUK What is being done to sort out this signalling fault? It has affected services for a number of times on separate days now. Seriously inconveniencing peoples’ lives. I’m not expecting a useful reply btw 😫

[benborthwick @benborthwick]

@TLRailUK how is this even possible - a “shortage of train crew” hat trick! #fail

[benborthwick @benborthwick]

@TLRailUK I’m sorry but it happens far too frequently on my line (a couple of times a week it seems) to be in any way fair and equitable. Perhaps it’s done to avoid fines?

[benborthwick @benborthwick]

@TLRailUK why oh why do you repeatedly ‘cancel’ stations when trains are delayed leaving passengers with massive waits to get home?! Your excuse is it “regulates” the service. But it just massively inconveniences loads of us! #crazy #inconvenient #rant

[benborthwick @benborthwick]

@TLRailUK your trains are failing again this morning - Bedford to Brighton. Is this same fault as yesterday or something else? Cancelled and delayed trains galore at Leagrave southbound…

[benborthwick @benborthwick]

@chinmj Sincere condolences and prayers

[benborthwick @benborthwick]

@TLRailUK Was 1846 from Farringdon. Now moving again. Phew 😥

[benborthwick @benborthwick]

@TLRailUK any idea why my train stuck northbound just south of Luton airport parkway? 10 mins so far…

[benborthwick @benborthwick]

@RichardMaung Congrats Richard. Hope it goes well.

A friend has just suggested a virtual escape room/boardgame evening on Zoom with a few other mates, and I don't want to be rude to my wonderful friend but I think I'd rather saw off my own head with a particularly blunt breadknife

[benborthwick @benborthwick]

@EdBraish Ah

A useful blog explaining the very recent changes to the Coronavirus 🦠 Lockdown Regulations: #COVID19 #lockdownuk https://t.co/41XV5t533t

[benborthwick @benborthwick]

@TLRailUK Pls thank your driver for the updates.

[benborthwick @benborthwick]

@TLRailUK on a north bound train just south of Luton airport parkway which has apparently been stuck by a trampoline. An update would be appreciated? #stormyweather #TrainDelay

[benborthwick @benborthwick]

@TLRailUK @chrisho17333046 Was this caused by the drop in temperature and the fact that in the UK I understand the rail operator doesn’t seasonally adjust overhead wire tensioning? 🧐

[benborthwick @benborthwick]

@SpencerAllenUK Wow isn’t he just gorgeous 😘
