@GNRailUK Thanks. I’ve got some friends travelling home this evening. How are things looking for the rest of the evening? What’s the rough expectation? Don’t worry about being precise.
Sorry @etihad but where do I start. Flight EY61 delayed 4 hrs + for ‘Operational matter’
Everyone called to the gate 2 hours !!! before flight leaves. Hardly any staff around to answer questions.
Very, very poor for one of the worlds ‘claimed’ best airlines.
@MartinSLewis
@etihad my flight EY61 from Abi Derby to London has been delayed by over four hours but there’s no explanation as to why.
Can you help and confirm if this is likely to get worse or improve?
@bergytheiceman@MartinSLewis You are sadly. I’ve been with Virgin and their predessor companies (NTL AND for those really old school - Metro Cable) on my own or ova parents for nearly 40 years. Routers programmed in restrictive ways + very difficult on calls and slow and expensive + more commonplace.
@MoneySavingExp It hasn’t changed. My last renewal took 6 hours of negotiations, via WhatsApp, Live Chat and phone calls over 3 days. It was very clear what they were doing but they had a monopoly in my town. Not any more, so finally been able to move. Shambles of a company.
🚨 EXCL: Manchester United reach agreement with Chelsea to sign Andrey Santos. Deal for 22yo #CFC midfielder worth £48m + £2m easily achievable add-ons & 10% sell-on clause. Permission given to undergo #MUFC medical; personal terms in place @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/TY4qfwhHT4
@MartinSLewis Did it earlier this year based around your advice,
Super easy.
Moved to Narionwide - who then gave us £175 for moving + 2 x £100 Nationwide Fair Share amounts - total for moving £375! Effectively gave us free worldwide travel insurance + much more via their packaged account
@GNRailUK When you say ‘expecting’ at what point will this be confirmed completely.
2251 - cancelled due to no staff
2312 - cancelled due to the weather
2351 - cancelled for unknown reason
Clearly, this is not great.
@GNRailUK
There seems to be only one train running from Cambridge to North Hertfordshire between now and close of play tonight. A mixture of reasons why the others have been cancelled. What’s the likelihood of the 2331 100% running?
@GNRailUK Thanks for the honest update; it’s appreciated. I remember many, many years ago when a Eurostar Train ripped the cabling out because they left up an additional item that connects to the cables!
Is there an ongoing fault with the Pantographs ?
@GNRailUK I’m not travelling from anywhere. Emma raising the question about why has been constant overhead Line damage for the last month in the North Hartfordshire and Cambridgeshire region.
It’s happened multiple times and it’s causing chaos.
Is it cable theft?
@GNRailUK Nearly every train is cancelled; I assume there are many trains that are displaced but virtually every Train being cancelled? Is there still a problem with the repairs?
