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

Little says you care about your stations more than leaving unmatched halves of the previous operator’s signs in place nearly five years after you took over.

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

Calling the old rust bucket fancy is stretching things a bit. Everything else is bang on.
Ordsall chord with no 4 tracking causes more problems than it solves.

Spotted this morning... The new Ordsall Chord bridge may be fancy, but it currently causes more problems than it solves.

@railandroad need to look into this. Platform changes are frequent since May 2018. Holding space on plats 4/5 inadequate for peak crowds and stairs frequently blocked, making much harder to change. No other routes available. Would be a nightmare in an emergency situation

Also few indicators that don't update for changes quickly and no working tannoy system for platform staff to make announcements. No alternate route to change platforms available.
Reopen the subway?

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.

Once driver training completed, this should start to sort @northernassist rolling stock problems.
7 Mar 2019
Authorisation has been given by @railandroad for @northernassist to place Class 331 EMUs into traffic. The @CAFRail_UK unit fleet has 31 three-car and 12 four-car sets.

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
