@holdmch The current pinned tweet that's been up 3 days. Maybe they should send the higher than usual cases to lost property?

[SurfBlue99 @surfblue99]

@holdmch @Captain_Deltic Good grief. A passenger once showed me a letter from customer relations explaining that the 5 minute stand time at Kingston was to allow fast trains to over take. It was at least coherently written even if the answer was a complete fantasy.

@swtrains_watch @Heidi_Labour @railandroad @TransportCttee @allpartyrail Service recovery post fatality possibly worse than ever last night. Looks like no Windsor trains from 1603 to 2133. There was a time when it would reasonably reliably be a couple of hours

@Shehadthoughts Haven't opened this app in a couple of weeks until today! Hope you're good, I miss this place how it used to be.

[SurfBlue99 @surfblue99]

@swtrains_watch @SW_Help @Heidi_Labour The reliability figure is even worse. Currently over 4% cancelled, digging into the back of my memory here but I'm pretty sure it was more like 1-2% post 2004

[SurfBlue99 @surfblue99]

@OldLondonW14 Each time a train crosses over to reach the Olympia branch it eats up capacity which could be used to serve Wimbledon/Richmond/Ealing. New signalling has increased capacity but the latter win out because they're much busier & Olympia is served by the Overground.

Trying to think if there's any other activity where you get threatened with prosecution every few minutes in the same way as travelling on @SW_Help Really makes for an unwelcoming experience, thank goodness for noise cancelling headphones! @swtrains_watch

[SurfBlue99 @surfblue99]

@swtrains_watch @RAAdams96 @SW_Help @TransportCttee @Heidi_Labour @allpartyrail @TransportFocus @transportgovuk The inbound journey was the same, if I could see it wasn't going to run because there were no trains remotely nearby then SWR should have been able to as well! Instead it did the inevitable automated count up before changing to delayed.

[SurfBlue99 @surfblue99]

@SW_Help Thank you, the inconvenience is sometimes inevitable, things will go wrong. The absolute ineptitude with which Waterloo is operated when it does is not excusable though.

[SurfBlue99 @surfblue99]

@swtrains_watch @RAAdams96 @SW_Help @TransportCttee @Heidi_Labour @allpartyrail @TransportFocus @transportgovuk on NRES but not on the station boards. Meanwhile 2303 to Windsor has appeared on the station boards & a trainload of people run from 21 to 3. Is it too much to ask that only trains that are confirmed to have crew are advertised? This happens again & again during disruption

[SurfBlue99 @surfblue99]

@swtrains_watch @RAAdams96 @SW_Help @TransportCttee @Heidi_Labour @allpartyrail @TransportFocus @transportgovuk So last night's fun: 2222 Addlestone and 2233 Windsor shown on time on NRES. Arrive Waterloo to find the 2250 Bracknell and 2322 are the only Windsor line trains on the board. Get on the 2250 and then sit there past time, people start getting off & notice it's now cancelled

[SurfBlue99 @surfblue99]

@swtrains_watch @Heidi_Labour @SW_Help @railandroad Delay repay refused including on appeal so now have to contact customer relations. Reason given being that it wasn't more than 15 minutes late which is technically true...

[SurfBlue99 @surfblue99]

@SW_Help Waterloo, train went through without stopping despite not showing cancelled at Ashford. Not a very pleasant evening to be left standing on a platform for no reason...

[SurfBlue99 @surfblue99]

@SW_Help 2203 WAT-HOU, 2nd coach from front Less than desirable fellow passenger

[SurfBlue99 @surfblue99]

@holdmch @SW_Help It's one thing if it's just one cancellation but the next 2 were stuck at Windsor behind an indefinitely delayed up train at Sunnymeads. You see similar happen at smaller stations on the Portsmouth direct when there's disruption.

[SurfBlue99 @surfblue99]

@SW_Help Hey, any chance of an extra stop for Ashford on the 0939 ex Reading? Our next 2 trains for Richmond appear to be stuck behind the problem train at Sunnymeads

[SurfBlue99 @surfblue99]

@SW_Help Hardly the point. Your control could do something to avoid that but chooses not to. And the information systems still giving out incorrect advice too.

[SurfBlue99 @surfblue99]

@SW_Help That's very poor to just leave a 2 hour gap in the service...
