Apparently this consultation has been botched. You don’t say. There is now more time to have your say.
I’m appalled that the UK government’s instruction to all rail companies to close ALL ticket offices in England is flying so low under the radar. Consultation closes next Tues 26/7. Please have your say 👉 rmt.org.uk/campaigns/rail/sa…

Poor show #TFL and #SouthEast trains. After today’s severe disruption on the #ElizabethLine I would have thought you would collaborate to help passengers get to Stratford without paying again.

#trainline Hello. #GWR cancelled a service on Friday 12 May. I had booked this with #trainline and you claim my refund has been successful. However, you have not actually made the refund within 5 working days as promised. Please advise, thanks.
