@SW_Help @swtrains_watch @Heidi_Labour Which platform should I go to? Whixh train is most likely to leave nezt? Any clues ?

[Jared Andrews @semjared]

@SW_Help @swtrains_watch @Heidi_Labour pls confirm taxis now permissible to Guildford given network collapse, multiple cancellations and unsafe overcrowding ?

[Jared Andrews @semjared]

@SteveOCollinson @Heidi_Labour It’s genuinely at the point where the most stressful part of the day is getting to work and wondering how long it’s going to take to get home. On point of just booking a hotel (not for the first time recently) in London tonight.

[Jared Andrews @semjared]

At what point will you? Service is non existent so at least you should allow people to make other plans and compensate them.

[Jared Andrews @semjared]

@SW_Help It’s every day. Is there a policy of not enforcing this in https://t.co/7qt9CNuaHP why have it? It would be very easy to enforce at Waterloo if staff were instructed to.

[Jared Andrews @semjared]

@SW_Help @swtrains_watch why doesn’t SWR enforce bike rules in rush hour? Just boarded 1815 Waterloo - Fareham. Counted 3 full size bikes boarding. Asked a platform attendant why rules aren’t enforced - shrugged his shoulders. Train now full and standing.

@SW_Help @swtrains_watch why doesn’t SWR enforce bike rules in rush hour? Just boarded 1815 Waterloo - Fareham. Counted 3 full size bikes boarding. Surely easy to do at the gate lines. Asked a platform attendant why rules aren’t enforced - shrugged his shoulders. Train now crammed and standing not helped by previous train being delayed and short formation of this one.

@SargeCraig667 @JoumannaTV Looks like returning as BA80 straightaway. Maybe repatriating cabin crew they’ve bussed down

[Jared Andrews @semjared]

@SimonCalder @elaine_shannan Interesting a BA787 G-ZBKD just landed at Muscat from LHR. Shows as a positioning flight. Thought Simon? Idea to have planes close to Dubai for when it opens?

[Jared Andrews @semjared]

It’s Tuesday and now multiple cancellations and short formations / delays on Portsmouth direct line. It was obvious to anybody that this would happen this week. Why no prearranged bus replacements, why no contingency plans (shuttle services, longer trains) etc etc?? Any contingency plans for tomorrow?

[Jared Andrews @semjared]

It’s Monday and sure enough we have signalling issues on the Portsmouth line. Why is this so predictable to everybody except seemingly SWR? Is there have no contingency in place? It will be the same all week so at what point do SWR become proactive and organise alternatives ahead of time.

[Jared Andrews @semjared]

@Mtsensk @SW_Help @swtrains_watch @Heidi_Labour Waterloo Portsmouth via Guildford. 1700 5 coaches instead of 10. 1715 cancelled (all stations Guildford to Hilsea. Everyone can see it coming except it seems SWR. @SW_Help When will we have a minimal service back again?

[Jared Andrews @semjared]

Yesterday guy happily puts his full size bike across the 3 seats then takes another seat of his own in the carriage main section. 4 for the price of one in rush hour. Multiple other ticket holders have to stand. I get it, ideally there would be space for all but there simply isn’t and abuse of cycle policy like this should be a fine like fare dodging is.

[Jared Andrews @semjared]

@SW_Help @swtrains_watch @Heidi_Labour in addition to the reduced SWR timetable published for July and August there are other peak services that seem to be now short formed daily eg 1745 London Portsmouth 5 coaches again today.. Of course full and standing. Do you have a list of these additional daily cancellations? Also why don’t you enforce bicycle policy and prevent full sized bicycles on rush hour trains as per your published policy - particularly when you know they are going to be overcrowded?? 3 additional people could sit down in this carriage if you enforced that.

[Jared Andrews @semjared]

@IanSargeant2 @SW_Help @swtrains_watch so actually the service reduction is peak and off peak - presumably this is why the total resistance to publish clearly all the changes in one place?

[Jared Andrews @semjared]

Newly nationalised SWR are initiating a 'Summer Timetable' i.e. pre-planned cancellations to deal with staff absences and to presumably reduce compensation for cancellations. It isn't easy to see the scale of the reduction as there is not a single list - you have to look at journey planner apps to spot the services that are missing. I thought better cheaper services were promised.

[Jared Andrews @semjared]

@SW_Help @swtrains_watch I have a question: what is the budget set aside for delay repay annually by SWR? The published figures (available up until 31/3/25) show a peak monthly repay of £924k on Nov/Dec 2024. June and July figures this year will be very interesting.
