@GNRailUK What about tomorrow?

[Bring Back the Fast Trains @fast_trains_pls]

New fast trains from Welwyn North and Knebworth (not many, but it's progress!) https://t.co/oIwlCWys3j

[Bring Back the Fast Trains @fast_trains_pls]

Another new timetable, but again there is nothing for Welwyn North and Knebworth (but extra services for Stevenage which is already well-served) https://t.co/W6kCtqTg2l

@ThatLadsNoGood Hi there. You'll need to pay to park a motorcycle. Free parking is for Blue Badge holders only. https://t.co/oxs3FusKmf ^Andy

Not part of a plug so look like someone put it there deliberately... what kind of idiot does this when a small child could touch it?!

[Liam Rainey @_lia95lia]

@GNRailUK I’ve just received an electric shock from a damaged plug on the 19:18 KGX - PBO

@CarrieMoUK @TLRailUK Since Covid there seem to be an abundance of revenue protection staff on board trains. Sometimes I've had my ticket checked three times in the same day. Prior to 2020 I had my ticket looked at by a person twice in six years.

Hi Paul.

I wouldn't be able confirm if there are any plans.

However, timetables and services are revised twice a year.

I'm aware on other parts of our network (which includes Southern and notably the West Coastway between Brighton and Southampton), services have been reviewed and changed following a consultation process. Although fare away from Hertford, the results of the consultation can be found here: https://t.co/CZaKkT14sE

As for closer to home, I would advise sending feedback and suggestions about services to our Customer Service team, who will feed this back to Train Planning for consideration: https://t.co/YEVohNtoJf

@GNRailUK any plans to add more trains/faster trains back into schedule? Welwyn north, I'd say back to pre pandemic levels, and we used to have some semi fast trains then..given we now pay a lot more, time to up the service? Is it being looked at at least? @fast_trains_pls

[Paul Clarke @paulclarke84]

@GNRailUK 716 Welwyn north to London cancelled. You need to put an additional traiin on. Thursday's v busy now, gap in service of an hour is unacceptable and will mean the 746 will be extremely busy

[Paul Clarke @paulclarke84]

Thanks for ignoring me, very helpful service. Currently on 746 from Welwyn and it's running v slowly and we are v late, I have somewhere to be, why is the service so poor and so consistently?

[Bring Back the Fast Trains @fast_trains_pls]

Hurry, just five more days left to travel legally with your highly dangerous e-unicycle

[Great Northern @GNRailUK]

⚡️ E-scooters, e-skateboards, e-unicycles and hoverboards are no longer permitted anywhere on our trains and stations from 1 June 2023 due to known safety risks with the batteries.

[Paul Clarke @paulclarke84]

@GNRailUK @fast_trains_pls Huh? I didn't ask anything about the train formation. I asked who benefits from timetable change, and why it was put a min earlier in new TT but every train seems to be late from Welwyn north? What's the issue?

[Bring Back the Fast Trains @fast_trains_pls]

TFL is consulting on plans to remove the Day Travelcard add-on to rail tickets from NR stations outside the Travelcard Zones, which would significantly increase the cost of days out in London https://t.co/W6zRexOiew

[Paul Clarke @paulclarke84]

@GNRailUK cancelled 717 and 817 Welwyn north to kings cross. So 1 train an hour on a Thursday (busiest day) any plans to stop a faster train? 747 going to be rammed at this rate

[Bring Back the Fast Trains @fast_trains_pls]

Today the price of an Anytime Day Return between Knebworth and King's Cross rises to £22.60, which is £2.10 more expensive than two years ago when the journey took half the time it does now

[Will Meakin-Durrant @wmeakindurrant]

Fast trains between #Knebworth and London are "ready" for a return - but there's a delay "up north".

"We're not asking for new train services, just an extra stop at Knebworth on a couple of the morning and evening peak services" - @fast_trains_pls
