@SomersetHouse hi there. Which entrance do I need for Photo London please? Thanks

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@Iberia hello could you please let me have a phone number for complaints?

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@CrossCountryUK took the 08:30 New Street to Manchester this morning. No catering, broken Wi-Fi and hand dryers out of action. Not great. On Board manager doing his absolute best

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@chilternrailway Ok thank you. Could someone at @BucksCouncil help as this issue is not helping people who want to travel sustainably

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@chilternrailway hi there, any chance you could speak to your colleagues at Arriva Bus. Onward connections from HDM at peak are woeful

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@arrivatheshires hi there, your 280 service due at Haddenham station at 17:39 just disappeared from live tracking. The wait time is ridiculous for such a busy commuter station

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@chilternrailway But it is possible to keep us up to date and you chose not to. Driver/train manager should have at least acknowledged the delay. Why keep us in the dark?

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@chilternrailway any news on the currently delayed 17:46 from MYB? No driver announcements

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@chilternrailway Thank you but why can’t announcements me made proactively so that we can adjust our onward travel plans???????????

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@flytoget hello, could you tell me about advertising opportunities on your trains? 🙏

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@chilternrailway Hi there. The over crowding on the 17:47 service is getting ridiculous now. With such consistent demand there really is now excuse. Could the 17:50 to Oxford not stop at HDM to help spread the load?????

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@chilternrailway hello, when will the serious overcrowding on the 17:47 to Birmingham be fixed? Another service to Haddenham required please

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@Oxford_Tube hi there. I’m worries that if I book a ticket from Lewknor to London there won’t be any seats available as the bus will already be full out of Oxford?

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@metpoliceuk hello, yesterday’s road closure on Birdcage Walk and local area was a nightmare for cyclists. No diversion signs and officers on the ground were not clear what advice to offer. They were all very polite about it but said they just didn’t know what advice was for 🚲

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@arrivatheshires hello, you could earn a fortune if you had a 280 service at Haddenham to meet the 18:21 packed train from Marylebone with lots of people trying to get home to Thame! Just saying.

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@chilternrailway Thank you. This service is full and standing every day. Is this on your radar?

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@chilternrailway Perfect, thank you

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@chilternrailway hello, Will ticket acceptance be in place this evening on the 280 bus from Aylesbury to Haddenham? Thank you

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@chilternrailway Hello, would you have any news?

[The Word's Shortlist @wordsshortlist]

@chilternrailway hi there, do I need to register my bike in order to use the bike racks at MYB? Thank you
