@PensionsMonkey A good innings Tom, good luck with the new venture. I wonder what that can be…?

[Ralph Jackson @RalphJ13]

@slowe1968 @stephenctimms Completely agree, welcome back @stephenctimms

@GWRHelp Hi I’m still at Goring with the next train still delayed. Can you tell me what time a train is expected leaving from Didcot calling at Goring to Reading please?

[Ralph Jackson @RalphJ13]

@GWRHelp are trains running from Didcot? I’m at Goring waiting for a delayed 16.51. What is the problem and when will it be fixed?

[Ralph Jackson @RalphJ13]

@GWRHelp Services have been cancelled from Reading and X country running late, just checked.
Will disruption continue all evening? And can I get delay repay if I’ve missed my scheduled connection?

[Ralph Jackson @RalphJ13]

@GWRHelp Are trains running from Reading to Basingstoke after 18.15 please, that’s my connection?

[Ralph Jackson @RalphJ13]

@GWRHelp The next two trains are cancelled unless you’re looking at a different timetable! Next service it says is 18.14 at Goring, is that right?

[Ralph Jackson @RalphJ13]

@GWRHelp Thank you but what does that mean? Are trains leaving Didcot and if so when is the next one calling at Goring? I have connections from Reading I will miss.

[Ralph Jackson @RalphJ13]

.@GWRHelp I cannot buy tickets online or via the app today is there a problem?

[Ralph Jackson @RalphJ13]

@PensionsMonkey Hadn’t clocked that Tom, hope you survived the snow!

I’m genuinely curious as to whether the right wing populist ‘change agenda’ characterised at the @Conservatives conference will gain any post-conference polling momentum.

[Ralph Jackson @RalphJ13]

@johnmcternan Probably quicker than a helicopter…

[Ralph Jackson @RalphJ13]

@PensionsMonkey The jury’s out on the alternative model I think. The politics are delicate: who dares rip this up early in their term (say if Labour win) without a solution in mind? It is all about state ofUK finances so I think this may take a full term or more to unravel it.

[Ralph Jackson @RalphJ13]

@cllr_alambritis Good luck Stephen!

[Ralph Jackson @RalphJ13]

.@GWR why is everything going slowly out of Paddington now, 7pm? No info from driver at all, please explain

[Ralph Jackson @RalphJ13]

@GWRHelp Thanks I’m going to London from Reading, are trains running from there yet?

[Ralph Jackson @RalphJ13]

.@GWRHelp has the Maidenhead fire been sorted and trains running through from Reading?

[Ralph Jackson @RalphJ13]

@MrJCrouch Everything everywhere for everyone. Clearly Mr Hunt watched the Oscars.
