@SouthernRailUK hi, I’m trying to make a complaint but each time I click submit, the button changes to ‘submitting…’ and then the page crashes and takes me back to the initial page. Please can I have a complaints email address to use to get this moving?

@SouthernRailUK Hi Silva- thanks for reply, although am increasingly fed up with the system. I’m tech literate and find its not easy to use. Have resubmitted as per your instructions but am frustrated if this gets rejected (again) I’ll be beyond the 28 days and won’t be able to try again.

Hi, Maria. Our advice would be to resubmit the claim. Please follow this procedure:
1. Fill out the online Delay Repay form as normal
2. When you are asked for your ticket evidence, please upload an image of all your tickets on one claim. You can do this by uploading all your tickets to a Word document and uploading this document as a PDF.
3. Alternatively, you could also upload an image of your receipt showing the price, date and stations the ticket it valid for.
4. You will need to fill in the cost of the ticket as the total cost of all split tickets.
5. Enter 00000 where it asks for your ticket number.
6. Ensure the image file is no more than 5MB in size
Please be sure to select the "Resubmitted claim" option when asked "Why were you delayed?" when submitting the claim again.

@SouthernRailUK hi how can I speak to someone re rejected delay repay claim please? System only lets me put single or return- the tickets were returns but ‘split save’ so several singles over one journey. Also was both delay and then missed connecting train, and can’t select both

@TfL what’s going on w 450 bus? Theres a diversion on Parchmore Rd that seemingly ended this AM (buses went past roadworks) but now there’s another from Windmill Grove? What happens to stops in between ie TH station? Elderly/vulnerable people at the stop not sure what’s happening

@nextofficial hi team, any idea if these will ever be back in stock? Haven’t had my size for a couple of months and now seemingly all out of stock. Thanks in advance

How the fuck are we meant to score today when their goalkeeper has ludicrously long and elastic arms? #AFCW

Suicide.
I'm choosing to be deliberately blunt and provocative in this post because it's necessary. Government, charities, football clubs are all pushing water up a hill in highlighting what is undoubtedly a major health crisis.
You take a rope.
You put it up in a garage or a tree nearby or far away.
You're thinking about every loved one you'll leave behind as you put that rope around your neck.
Then you drop.
Some are decapitated.
Some aren't.
All are found by someone who has a lifetime of trauma that will never leave them.
A son.
A daughter.
A brother.
A sister.
A mother.
A father.
I know 2 men who hung themselves.
One was found by his Mom.
One was found by his brother.
Neither have recovered fully. 20 and 30 years on.
A life sentence for people who were already worrying, terrified their loved one may do something.
So just visualise the above and ask, "is there another way"?
A segway for a moment.
I do a few Q&A's every year. Tales of yesterday with a 99% male audience of my age group.
After the stories and fun, my last question back to the audience is..
"Hands up if you struggle with a mental health issue".
Nobody ever puts a hand up. Despite 1 in every 3 of 500 attendees statistically struggling.
"Ah, nobody, that's fucking brilliant! Well I do! ". I then graphically tell people, stunned into silence about how a rope around my neck in the middle of nowhere jolted me to go home and cry like a baby to my Mom.
After the Q&A has finished, something always happens. I'll be chatting to a few guys, saying bye and one by one, men will come over and whisper " I struggle".
Or my mailbox the next day will have 30 emails from guys, their partners or kids saying " Dad/Uncle /Brother was there last night and what you said hit them hard".
And that's how some people realise that it's time to speak to a pal or family member or even rant to me in an email. It works, I often get a follow up email a year or 6 later saying that they took responsibility for their suicidal feelings and are now flying.
Humans are programmed to want to live, to have families and to keep the species growing and thriving. So for a human to want to short circuit that desire isn't normal, and it should never be spoken of as normal. It's the ultimate red flag.
If you suspect your mate, Dad, Brother, Uncle is struggling mentally, they deserve your intervention.
They deserve a " are you OK, please tell me what's up".
They deserve an opportunity to get past wanting to hang a rope over a tree or in a garage and slowly struggle until they die and you find them.
If you've been there and trust me I have plenty, then you'll know that text out of the blue, or a footie mate or one of your kids asking jow you are can open the curtains to some sunshine.
Because when suicide is your only answer, the room is already dark, and you can't see a way out.
So please, fucking pretty please, ask that husband, Dad, Uncle, Cousin, footie pal TODAY how they are.
You may be shocked what comes back but extremely glad that you asked.
For those who struggle, you're not alone.

@cherylgriffin @Channel4 Sorry to hear! If it’s true it’s gone, it’s ridiculous they couldn’t at least have put a forewarning up… one of their competitors manages it…!

It’s time for women and allies to speak up. To say ‘not in our name’ to the discrimination and exclusion of trans people. Are you with us?

@nationalrailenq Hi- ok will speak with Southern. Nope I always get the anytime day return, adhoc for work so can’t do advance, have done for the last 4 or so years, and of course it’s gone up in price but not by this much in one go!
English

@MariaPMP (2) In any case, I'd advise contacting the operators of this journey as they may be able to confirm further details on this. You can reach them here: southernrailway.com/help-and-suppo… Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
English

@nationalrailenq can I ask when/ why the fare for a journey I complete regularly has almost doubled in cost, approx some time in the last fortnight? I know fares are going up but thought it was in July and by approx 5%? Is this an error?
