@ChrisGrose2 @JohnTillUK All depends really - I'm a big fan of the ferry, but tend to use the tunnel for frequency of departure and quick transit when part of a longer journey. Also seem to have less border delays.

@JohnTillUK @yamesh Too many people going via the tunnel. I have tried the tunnel on 3 occasions and been huge delays each time. Much prefer the boat, takes longer but you can get food etc

Was browsing through some of my ferry memorabilia over the w/e and noticed that all of the operators on the channel had loyalty schemes, like P&O’s “Motorpoints” and Stena Sealink “Compass points” but now, nothing. Seems odd when loyalty schemes so prevalent elsewhere. Thoughts?

@AshValeCommuter @archer_rs They still have electronic records provided by carriers. A friend on a cruise entered at an airport and was stamped, but departed the EU from a small port with no controls/no stamp. Cruise line submitted data as evidence of leaving.
English
@yamesh @archer_rs My biggest concern is when they start using this data to actually enforce the 90 day rule. If records are missing, people may be wrongly denied entry or prosecuted.

@AshValeCommuter @archer_rs On arrival in NL last week was re-registered as seemingly my previous one in France was nowhere to be found :(
English
@archer_rs The "fear" being that the EU have spectacularly messed up implementation of EES?
English
@JohnTillUK Devil's advocate, but would those mitigating actions not be taking place if there hadn't been a prior cancellation?
English
It’s the small things that matter, our “repeat cancellations” tool picked this up and it’s fantastic to see us being able to act on it and put the customer first.

ℹ️ INFO: We're sorry but because of a fault, the 17:55 St Pancras to Ramsgate will terminate at Faversham this evening. We know this train was also disrupted last Friday, so we're going to hold another train at Faversham to connect, to minimise the delay to your journey.

@LeShuttle_Help Hello from Calais! What's the point in offering departure times at check-in when your app and terminal screens then show they've all been retained anyway?!

If @antanddec could send me anywhere in the world for Accidental Tourist… where do you think they should be dropping me off?

@AshValeCommuter The one of Ash Vale's above the gents urinal, for that full sensory experience.

Popped into a local pub and they've got a Waterloo Station painting on the wall.
They must've known how much I loved commuting there 🫣.

@JohnTillUK This is great - whenever I've asked a TOC in the past about what constitutes an acceptable alternative route, the answers have been vague and unhelpful. Nicely done.

@AshValeCommuter Good news we're all being incentivised to go this way by the ISA allowance changes...
English
Friday my Stocks & Shares ISA was up 13%. Today's it's now just 1%.

@BrittanyFerries Hello! On the Friday afternoon to Caen this week - any reason it's leaving 2hrs earlier than normal please?

@ChadCarleton @investorSportif Because they are loaning you something worth thousands of dollars so want to do a bit of due diligence. Likely mandated by their insurance.

@investorSportif The reservation is under my name WHY do you need 2 forms of ID
English
Rental car counter employees, hotel registration, airlines…
WHAT the hell are you typing for 10 minutes for EVERY guest????

@lawrenceofthe @Gordon_3417 "Joyfully bonkers" is a most apt description. Congrats and Godspeed to the SETG!

@Gordon_3417 You guys are bonkers. Wonderfully joyfully bonkers. Well done.

@AshValeCommuter Malaysia Airlines actually did that once on a KL > Manila flight I was on... and it largely worked
English
@Devan_Kaney Or window seats first, then middle seats, then aisle seats. Then people wouldn't need to keep standing up and blocking the aisle.
You can all go together if all three seats are travelling together.
English
Can we all agree it would be so much easier if airlines simply boarded the back of the plane first and worked their way down? Let first class people sit in a lounge or something idk. Like how has no one implemented this.
