@StagecoachSE you haven’t amended the terms & conditions on the app to say that the Thanet day ticket, which was previously valid on open top service 69 is no longer valid… I now have a £6.00 active Thanet day rider active, which is no use - how do I get a refund please?

@StagecoachSE @StagecoachSE you need to retweet last night’s post about no Loop services serving central Ramsgate!

#Thanet LOOP / 9X / 45 Bus Stop Suspension & diversion 17 - 21 / FEB / 2025 Wellington Crescent, Ramsgate Due to carriageway alterations, the above bus stops are closed & buses will be diverting via Victoria Road (LOOP) & will not serve Plains of Waterloo or King Street

@StagecoachSE how can clockwise loop buses be running so late and be marked as out of service and be empty at the same time on. Sunday evening???

@Se_Railway any update on the delayed 16:49 Folkestone Central - Ramsgate service, the platform information screen isn’t showing an expected time anymore

@Se_Railway big shout out to Kevin and the team in Cannon St lost property office for reuniting me with my hiking jacket, which took itself off on a tour of East Kent! Top notch service and great pair of chaps!

@Se_Railway Great, thanks for the info 👍

@DarranCowd Hi Darran, unfortunately this service was cancelled this morning because of a shortage of train crew, and yesterday because of a broken rail between Dover and Folkestone; we expect this service to run tomorrow and Friday. ^SK

@Se_Railway is the 7.08 Ramsgate- Folkestone service likely to run at all this week (it was cancelled this morning & passengers were detrained from it yesterday), or has it been suspended due to it normally traversing the embankment slip on its way round the coast route to here?

@Se_Railway We’re on it now, all good and they held it till everyone had de-trained, thanks ☺️

@DarranCowd Thanks, the time on the bus is only an approximate time, sure the staff will hold it as long as the delay isn't too long. ^g

@Se_Railway Timetabled to leave Folkestone at 17.01

@DarranCowd Could you let me know what train you are on, cant see a 1712 arrival. ^g

⚠️ NEW: Because of a fault with the signalling system in the #Sandwich area, services between Ramsgate, Dover Priory and Ashford International are being disrupted. 👷 Response staff are en route to the area to deal with the issue. ℹ️ Updates to follow shortly

@Se_Railway Is the 17.15 bus from Dover likely to be held so that Folkestone-Ramsgate passengers on the now late arriving 17.12 arrival can make the bus?

⚠️UPDATE: Staff are continuing to investigate the cause of the signalling issues at #Sandwich 🚌Replacement buses ware en route between Ramsgate and Dover, calling all stations. 🎫You can use your tickets on Stagecoach bus routes 45, 80a and 81

@StagecoachSE is the #Thanet loop anti-clockwise still missing out Grange Road, Queen St, Harbour and King St?

@vickybarlo I used to do Southend-on-Sea - Hendon via Liverpool St\Margate - train or driving I’m thinking of you!

Abandoned the idea of working on-site as my commute is apparently roughly 3 hours this morning and now I have no WIFI. I have until 12 to get it sorted. Yay Monday!

@Se_Railway OK, thanks, that makes more sense…

@DarranCowd The calling pattern has been altered because of the late departure of this train. This is to minimise any knock on delays across the train service. ^NM

@Se_Railway why isn’t the delayed 7.05 Ramsgate-St Pancras stopping at Folkestone, I work in Folkestone and it’s the only direct service in a two hour stretch and the train is still going to be going throw the station!

@Se_Railway Thanks, but that doesn’t answer why the service isn’t stopping at a timetabled station that it’s still passing through…

@DarranCowd Apologies Darran, this is because train crew were delayed on a previous journey. ^NM

@cladle @JTullock @DeeGonz92 @melindahaunton @oldenoughtosay @madybeardmore too, although I should add that @oldenoughtosay past tweets did inspire something thinking during my time on the project

@JTullock @DeeGonz92 @melindahaunton That’s lovely to hear and I know @oldenoughtosay and @DarranCowd will be delighted to hear.

This year’s #NationalDay was filled with a walk along #Deal seaside and pier, breakfast tacos, sangria, and a fabulous trip to the wonderful Kent Mining Museum (which if you’ve not been, do go)

@AntCoulls Good call, love the Blue Bell! Actually we’ve been seeing a lot of you this week at work, running ‘trains to the seaside’ kids activities and playing the NRM You Tube channel in the background!

Trains cancelled? One thing to do, head for the Blue Bell in York. Spot on

@cladle @artistsmakers In the elbow of Margate harbour arm yes, but we’ve had a sewage warning the last weekend or so - wouldn’t go paddling if I were you…

Copious stinky fly infested seaweed sludge at Margate and Broadstairs… no way was I going to swim in it. Is it always like this ⁦@artistsmakers⁩ ?

@jayrayner1 I can lend you an A6 notebook, it’d be a pity to waste a full sheet of A4…

Which people? I want names. One side of A4 should do it.

@vickybarlo There’s one down here right now, think he’s a stray and fully intact - there’s been a bit of spraying hence the electronic cat flap has finally been energised. But he’s a lovely looking chap so hopefully tameable…

This tiny, dainty little number is either smitten with Mischa or trying to drive him out of my house. This one keeps following him around, showing its belly and stalking him. No hissing on either side and Mischa just seems rather baffled.
