@LNER @GWRHelp Thank you! Just confirming that this was all on one booking :)

[Richard Windley @mrbean522]

Hi @LNER
I’m booked on the 12:40 ex King’s Cross to Harrogate, but my journey on @GWRHelp is delayed as I’m coming from Reading. I have an Advance Single for this.
Is my ticket valid on other services today? Thanks

[Richard Windley @mrbean522]

@LNER @GWRHelp Thank you for your reply, much appreciated

[Richard Windley @mrbean522]

@LNER @GWRHelp Hi Nicholas, it’s three separate tickets. Reading to Doncaster, Doncaster to Wakefield and Wakefield to Harrogate. I booked split tickets to save money.

[Richard Windley @mrbean522]

@OnTheTrainJames That looks smart!

[Richard Windley @mrbean522]

@OnTheTrainJames Ooh an ex Reading Omnidekka!

@CrossCountryUK Hi JM there’s a fake account impersonating to be XC. I’ve reported it on X.

@CrossCountryUK Hi, my colleague is stuck on one of your trains at Christchurch. Can anything be done to move the train please?

[Richard Windley @mrbean522]

@CrossCountryUK Ok, thanks for letting me know.

[Richard Windley @mrbean522]

@joey_wanders Happy birthday! 🥳

[Richard Windley @mrbean522]

Another year older!

[Richard Windley @mrbean522]

@AndyRCowell @CrossCountryUK I suppose so!

[Richard Windley @mrbean522]

Hi @CrossCountryUK please can you consider longer trains on your Bournemouth to Birmingham route? The 14:03 from Birmingham to Reading is quite busy, I’m standing in the corridor by the doors!

[Richard Windley @mrbean522]

I will say, credit to your train manager @CrossCountryUK who is keeping us informed of the progress of our journey, plus I managed to find a seat once we had got on, so credit where it’s due.

Lots of work has gone into preparing everything for shuttle buses to the Newbury Show this year, with a new timetable that I created based on driver and customer feedback from the 2024 show. Hope all goes well!

[Newbury & District @newburydistrict]

The Newbury Show takes place this weekend! We’ll be running the N10 shuttle bus between Newbury Station, Newbury Wharf, Thatcham and the show to help you get there. For information and times visit: https://t.co/0GlghS2QIJ

@OnTheTrainJames Good luck, hope it goes well!
