@AskNationwide I'd appreciate a reply to this if you'd like me to ever bank with you again.

@AskNationwide extremely disappointed that after changing my address online, the next communication I receive from you is a letter to say that my account has been closed and that I need to fill in a form and bring ID to _reclaim_ my savings!

As it was an ISA, I've lost several hundred pounds in interest and the tax-free status of the savings. I really would expect better from the nation's "best high-street bank"!

@GNRailUK @GNRailUK, I posted the tickets and received a reply asking for more details, and have now replied twice with the details without a response (case ref.: 20250605-784537). Please can you chase this up!!!

Hi there, for a refund via post please send your tickets and covering letter to the following address: Govia Thameslink Railway PO BOX 8644 Derby DE1 9RQ Alternatively, please visit a Ticket office for a refund. I do understand your concern here, I will raise this internally. Our apologies for any misunderstanding or inconvenience caused. ^Amy

@GNRailUK how do I apply for an unused paper ticket refund online? On your website, it says that I can apply online via my account but I can't see where in my account I can apply.

@GNRailUK Why does it say on the website that paper tickets can be refunded online? Is that only for tickets purchased online and collected at the station? If so, that's confusing and you should update the website. How do I apply for a refund by post? There are no details on your website.

@Lloyd_Chapman_ Thanks for confirming, these can't be attached to your online account, I'm afraid. They will need to be refunded at the ticket office or via post. ^Amy

@GNRailUK No, I purchased it from a ticket machine (so, yes, they're printed)

@Lloyd_Chapman_ Hi there, did you purchase the ticket online? And if so, are they printed? 😊 ^Amy

@AvantiWestCoast Hi Pete. Sure I've DM'ed it to you.

@Lloyd_Chapman_ Are you able to send a copy of the tickets and full journey itinerary, via DM. - Pete twitter.com/messages/compo…

@AvantiWestCoast Trying to book a return ticket from Lancaster to Cambridge with a bike reservation but can't find a pair of trains for which there's a bike reservation on the outward leg no matter how many random combination of dates and times I try. Completely unacceptable!

@AvantiWestCoast Hi Richard. I'm travelling out today on the 13:40 and back on the 30th on the 15:53 from Cambridge (17:30 from Euston)

@Lloyd_Chapman_ Hi Lloyd, we can only convey a limited amount of bikes on each service, I'm afraid. If you DM us your proposed travel dates and times, we can take a look for you - Richard

How is it that you won't refund us when my partner and I book an unnecessary extra ticket due to wrong information you gave us @Ryanair?

@AvantiWestCoast It was the train manager. It cost me another 2 hours on a journey that had already been delayed by a couple of hours due to a cancellation.

@Lloyd_Chapman_ I would assume that the Train Manager would use discretion in this situation. If it was the Station Staff that wouldn't allow you to board, they are just following company policy. - Kim

@AvantiWestCoast how is it fair that if I'm travelling with a bike and my train is cancelled I have to get another bike reservation to travel on one of your trains even if there isn't time to get to the ticket office and back to catch the next train?

@AvantiWestCoast Or operate a first-come-first-served policy as other train companies do.

@AvantiWestCoast Sorry, Kim, that's not good enough. You should be able to easily check whether there are any passengers needing to board with bikes further down the journey, and change the availability in the system so that nobody with a bike reservation is refused boarding.

@AvantiWestCoast The current policy puts people travelling with a bike (who you should be supporting) at a big disadvantage if there are cancelations. Other train companies are nowhere near as restrictive. Please sort it out!

@AvantiWestCoast In that situation, why can't it be up to the train manager whether to let me board with my bike, with the default being to let me board if there's space?

@AvantiWestCoast I wasn't allowed to board an @AvantiWestCoast train today in exactly this situation, which turned a 2 hour journey into a 4 hour one. Not impressed!

If you're mourning the queen today, spare a thought for the hundreds of thousands who have died from COVID since the start of the pandemic.
