'What an amazing thing to be able to show your children that very first moment' It is 40 years since TV juggernaut Blind Date first aired, and Sue and Alex Tatham were the first couple who met on the show to get married - and they told #BBCBreakfast about the moment they met bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@BobGeor33274440 @northernassist Hi @BobGeor33274440 I'm a journalist from BBC working on a piece on train cancellations. I wondered if you would be interested in chatting about your experience? Thanks.

@northernassist Twice in the last few days my train to Newcastle has been cancelled leaving me with no option to get to work. This new Northumberland line is pointless if it's going to be so unreliable - I'm going back to the bus.

@TLRailUK I think it’s more of a data request to be honest, if someone wants to know the rate of cancellations

@TLRailUK - cancel a commuter service into London (8.41am from Westcombe Park to City Thameslink) with no explanation, apology, or acknowledgment for an entire week

A load of NONSENSE with the Elizabeth this evening after I finished work! No tubes /trains at Farringdon so walked to City Thameslink, same rubbish so walked to Cannon Street and got the South Eastern Train home.

Hi @TLRailUK any chance of fixing whatever it is that’s broken City Thameslink. It’s been a week now ????

@TLRailUK why isn’t the 07:21 from Horsham stopping at City Thameslink?

City Thameslink has to be the worst rail line of all time

@tony_croydon @TLRailUK @RMTunion Hello, I'm a journalist for BBC working on a piece on train cancellations - if this is something you might want to chat about, my DMs are open - thanks

@TLRailUK @RMTunion Thanks Kieran, I've had delay repay claims rejected in the past because the route I had to take wasn't the intended route due to cancellation. There is no field on the delay repay form to add that information currently.

@TLRailUK @RMTunion All direct trains from Sanderstead to the city are cancelled again this morning. Yet again a nightmare for me. Why are there still issues everyday?

@ljCarroll66 @TLRailUK @Blake_MidBeds Hi @ljCarroll66, I'm a journalist for BBC working on a piece on train cancellations - if this is something you might want to chat about, my DMs are open - thanks

@TLRailUK another evening of disgraceful service. 20:14 from City Thameslink to Harlington delayed by 20 minutes and now not stopping at Harlington. @Blake_MidBeds when are you going to actually do something about this service, disgraceful.

@TLRailUK Here's the train going past that everyone on the 5.01 from City Thameslink needed to get. 🙄

@TLRailUK So many cancellations from City Thameslink for rush hour this evening already. What's the reason please?

Can I get the 1812 at king cross? I have an open return. This would be a great northern train rather than Thameslink

@TLRailUK city Thameslink to Peterborough at 1809 cancelled. Is the 1839 still going?

@ TfL my journeys from work consistently unreliable. Trains, buses, tube.
