@thamesclippers Just found this. Why no notifications at embarkation point - Embankment in my case. I'm asking for refund of my entire carnet. You can't be relied on to get me to work any more. Pity.

@thamesclippers Come on @thamesclippers - you could have at least told us no departure from Embankment at 7.19! No notices at all either here and nothing at the embarkation point. Not good enough! You've wasted my money and cost me train fare.

I've shifted my tent on Mastodon from mstdn to the newly established history-related server, so the address is now @patrickleary@historians.social. The site still feels clunky to me, but on the bright side there are no tech billionaires over there working on ways to monetize it.

This is very useful to know, Patrick- thank you!
