@SW_Help Waterloo. Home now. 2 and a half hours later than I should have been

[John Parkinson @jmparky]

@SW_Help where is the 23:35 to Winchester?

[John Parkinson @jmparky]

@SW_Help @fiyero Why wasn't it announced at the stations from departure? It's a shambles. Would have caught the 23:05 if known. It's a joke.

[John Parkinson @jmparky]

@SW_Help why can you not advise earlier in the day rail replacement bus services leaving London so people can make appropriate plans? It's not difficult?

@TimHarford @RoganProduction Enjoying the show. Informative if depressing. Is the picture quality is jittery or is it me?
