Not content with removing a third of key services from Harpenden, @TLRailUK show their contempt for their passengers by dropping another service. Good luck getting home #saveHPDtrains @BimAfolami

It's Timetable change day but most along the Redhill route won't notice this year after last years disaster. Just a few minor tweaks Monday to Friday.
Good news is 17:21 and 17:51 from London Bridge are 12 coaches from today.
No improvements on connections to Reigate/Tonbridge

And timetable at Leeds & York more of a shambles than @May2018Changes . Loads of clashes, needless variations and one station losing its hourly @northernassist service in ONE direction only after decades. So much for lessons learnt @railandroad @Transport4North @TransportFocus

Excellent (Almost) new Sunday service along Redhill Route starts Sunday
Earlswood & Salfords return to half hourly at last
Horley gets better too
Redhill gets 6 (yes SIX) per hour
Reigate/Tonbridge same
BUT - poor old Merstham gets an effective hourly service - needs improvement

Little says you care about your customers more than slashing a third of key services, lying about having consulted then failing to fix the mess you create when your own data proves you got it wrong

Oi @LeaveEUOfficial if you're going to deselect Tory MPs, could you at least be useful and deselect #ChrisGrayling? Thanks, Manchester xx

We have today issued Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) with a £5m fine for breaking rules on passenger information on its @TLRailUK and @GNRailUK routes following the May 2018 timetable disruption.

Tickets from Redhill to St Pancras using @nationalrailenq charges you a cheapest fare of £11.40, but a @tfl contactless fare is only £6.30?
Why do we need a degree in fares to get a #FairFare

@BimAfolami explains how @tlrailuk refuse to fix Harpenden trains despite their own data showing their decision to slash key services by a third was wrong #saveHPDtrains facebook.com/432600603766052…

#BREAKING A massive legal claim has just been lodged with the Competition Appeal Tribunal against @TheGoAheadGroup @groupekeolis @FirstGroupplc and @stagecoachgroup. It is alleged that they have overcharged passengers by up to £100 million. #EasierFares standard.co.uk/news/transpor…

"Cancellations caused by crew shortages - usually the unavailability of drivers - accounted for more than one in five trains that failed to run last year. It was about twice the number of cancellations blamed on bad weather or signal failures." thetimes.co.uk/article/d0421…

35,030 services were cancelled in the past year because of a lack of available train crew, often leaving passengers stranded at stations. The figure increased by more than a third in a year and represents a fivefold rise from just 7,188 six years earlier. thetimes.co.uk/article/d0421…

Just back from @Arleseycommuter meeting with @GNRailUK A positive meeting with their team discussing Arlesey service. Still many issues to be resolved and at a corporate level there seems to be a lack of awareness of the reality of the customer experience. #notavillagestation

Gatwick Express will be stopping at Preston Park again in a matter of weeks, rather than in May! Thanks to @CarolineLucas and her constant support and hard work with the PPTC. Another significant moment for Preston Park commuters! Thank you Caroline!

Providing a local train service in East Surrey along #Redhill Route with trains originating in Bedford & Peterborough is a complete and utter failure by @TLRailUK
This service needs replacing with local trains as soon as possible

Please confirm when this problem is going to cease @TLRailUK @GNRailUK - it has gone in way too long now.
@GNRailUK @TLRailUK @hitchincommuter no driver for the 1424 fpk-hit... I thought we might have got past this, clearly not! Will there ever be a week when the trains run properly all the way through?
