New @chilternrailway train sitting at Banbury this morning
These are being introduced next year

@mark_lj Beautiful

@thetrainline I thought about the VPN but switched it off, closed/re-opened the app and still the same

[irvin @irvind]

@thetrainline Your app is now charging same-day booking fees

[irvin @irvind]

@thetrainline
Not particularly enjoying these new graphics, seems like it takes longer to get the tickets
Just want the tickets really
You’re a ticketing app catering to people who are often in a hurry
Confetti takes time to fall

Another relaxing journey on the 3 carriages between Birmingham and Marylebone

[irvin @irvind]

@chilternrailway @CustomersofCR Last carriage

[irvin @irvind]

Another rammed full trip on the 10:40 Banbury to Marylebone @chilternrailway @CustomersofCR
So hot a woman fainted right next to me. Not the first time this has happened either
How long till you proved a decent service on a Saturday?

[irvin @irvind]

@chilternrailway @CustomersofCR A network without enough trains and carriages isn’t much of a network
It’s like me playing keyboards on a west end show and making a decision to only play with one hand, telling everyone that’s all I have
You have a choice
10:40 then an 11:40?
It’s not enough

@CustomersofCR @fivanmierlo @joymorrissey @gregsmith_uk Last week - Banbury to Marylebone, standing all the way

@chilternrailway
Is this the latest cost-cutting exercise?
No curtains?

@MBrundleF1 I’ve met him several times, he’s a thoroughly decent, humble human being
People made a big deal out of very little here
It’s classy to offer an apology, so well done

[All The Right Movies @ATRightMovies]

BATMAN BEGINS was released 19 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great superhero origin movies and the film that catapulted the career of Christopher Nolan, the making of story is mysterious as The League of Shadows…

@UB1UB2 Horrific and unnecessary

[irvin @irvind]

@roblevybass Try not watching tv
I’ve been doing it for years
It works!

[irvin @irvind]

@waughzone @chilternrailway Yup
The 22:30 will be 5 carriages, rammed full
The 23:07 will be 2 carriages, rammed full
“Oh, sorry, we don’t have any more carriages!”
Like me saying I’ve already played too many notes that day and CBA 🎶
And tomorrow’s not looking good either.. 🤯

[irvin @irvind]

Money well-spent @chilternrailway to stand from Banbury to London Marylebone on the 08:08

[irvin @irvind]

@chilternrailway You’re absolutely not doing everything you can to improve your service, as this is regularly a 6 carriage train - today being no exception - it’s just particularly busy today
So stop sending out the standard apology tweets as if you care, and invest in some more carriages?
