*to Bedford, 7.07

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@TLRailUK is there any confidence that the 6.07 from Hassocks to Cambridge will run? Both the 6.47 and 6.50 were cancelled due to ‘delayed train crew’ 🙄

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@TLRailUK Thanks for getting back to me though

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@TLRailUK you’ve cancelled my stop (hassocks) - there’s a slower service just in front that is stopping there, so will you be holding it at Gatwick to let us cross platforms to it, presumably allowing this one to get in front? One I’m on is due at Gatwick at 5.47, one in front 45

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@TLRailUK That’s extremely irritating and doesn’t make sense

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@TLRailUK On the one 33 mins late. Has been cancelled at Hassocks, but the one in front also stops at hassocks so is in the way. Doesn’t make sense to me…

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@TLRailUK

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@TLRailUK Trying to get to Hassocks

@TLRailUK Brighton

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@TLRailUK why does there continue to be frequent cancellations due to shortage of train crews on the Brighton mainline? This has been going on for well over a year

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@TLRailUK Our driver has just said that our train (just outside HH) is apparently going back down the line so guessing the issue is pretty significant?

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@TLRailUK why are the early trains from Brighton to London such a mess again this morning?

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@TLRailUK Yes, moving now. We appeared to be diverted via Redhill. Why can’t the drivers provide updates over the PA rather than me having to come on here to find out what’s happening?

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@TLRailUK why don’t your drivers update passengers? On the 4.56 CTK to BTN and it’s already hideously delayed. Now sat at a standstill at HHeath

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@TLRailUK Are works going to plan or is there likely to be significant disruption this morning? Due to travel on the 6.50 from HSK to CTK. Thanks

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@Oldtraindriver @TLRailUK Yes, perhaps they should consider making it 24/7 (along with lazy sods disposing of their rubbish)

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@TLRailUK another filthy train that hasn’t been cleaned overnight 🤢 If it was the first of the day I could understand, but this isn’t acceptable given the astronomical ticket prices

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@TLRailUK It’s not the grit, it’s the rubbish littered throughout that’s grim

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@TLRailUK 6.37 from Hassocks to Bedford which is the 5th Thameslink service to run

[Rhys Jones @rhysio_j]

@TLRailUK hi, could you let me know why so many morning trains on the Brighton line are being cancelled due to a shortage of train crew at the moment? Thanks
