To mark the opening of the Northern line Extension I've created a celebratory poster in the style of McKnight Kauffer's 1932 advert. I've been part of the @TfL team delivering the NLE since 2018, so this a proud tribute to the efforts of all those who have worked on the project.

@greateranglia I'm going to BSE getting the 2148 from KGX to CBG, it's been delayed so I'll miss the connection which is the last of the evening 2248. Can Cambridge be made aware that onward travel is required please?

@greateranglia Yes it does still apply FYI, flexibility for the last three services, had it confirmed by LST staff

@greateranglia I'm aware that is usually the case but for a period there was (or is) flexibility for the last three mainline services from London to NRW as the tweeted quote above confirms. Which conductors still very recently still announce. I'm trying to establish of this rule applies now.

@greateranglia hi! Is it still the case that there's flexibility on Advance tickets for any of the last 3 services LST-NRW? e.g. if I bought an Advance single for the 2130 I would be able to travel without penalty on either the 2230 or the 2330? Thanks!

@greateranglia So this 'easement' no longer applies? x.com/greateranglia/… Often conductors will announce it

@DodgeNeal Hi there, if you have bought an advanced ticket for a certain train you will need to travel on this service.

@greateranglia The last train from London (KGX) to Cambridge that connects to the train to Bury has been cancelled. 2139 from KGX. Now on the 2209 due into Cambridge at 2302. Please let Cambridge know that taxis will be needed. Cheers.

@greateranglia Thank you.

@DodgeNeal Hi Neal, I have just spoken to the team and this service will be held to allow passengers to make their connections this evening.

@greateranglia can the 2247 Cambridge to Ipswich service be held for passengers on the train from Kings Cross, it's running 17m late and due into Cambridge at 2247. Its the last Ipswich service of the evening.

@greateranglia I can see the train has left, very disappointing. I understood your connections policy was to always hold the last train, especially as in this case the gap is less than 10 mins.

@DodgeNeal I am unable to confirm whether this service can be held unfortunately due to the delay time. If you speak to station staff at Cambridge when you get there, they should be able to assist with onward travel.

@greateranglia the kings Cross train that connects to the last train from Cambridge to Newmarket/Bury (2247 to Ipswich) is being delayed currently due in to Cambridge at 2257 will you hold the connection given its the last service please?

@greateranglia It is the last service of the day, if not held alternative transport will be needed.

@DodgeNeal Thanks for confirming, I will have a look to see if this service can be held at all.

@greateranglia Need to make this connection realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:…

@greateranglia 21:39 from KGX realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:…

@BaberghDistrict Should that be independent gain? Despite it being the same person in 2019 they were elected as a Conservative.

🗳️ RESULT WARD: Brett Vale (1 seat) ELECTED: John Patrick Lee Ward (Independent) Full details will be at babergh.gov.uk/elections/elec…

@greateranglia No worries, all sorted now.

@DodgeNeal Hi Neal. can you confirm what service you were meant to travel on please? - Johnny

@greateranglia due to the bridge strike at Thurston I trust my ticket to LST (advance via Cambridge to LST on GA) would be valid from Stowmarket as I can myself there?

@greateranglia currently on the 2100 LST to NRW stopped at Colchester. Going to Bury St Edmunds, so changing at Ipswich, will the 2221 Ipswich to Bury be held or run at all?

@greateranglia with the delays at #pondersend will GA tickets from Cambridge be accepted on Great Northern/Thameslink services?

@greateranglia Thanks

@DodgeNeal Hi Neal, as far as I can see that service is going ahead as scheduled, it has just departed from Needham Market at 06:25.

@greateranglia is the 0617 IPS to Cambridge service still running? As its coming up here as cancelled but not on Journey Check. realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:…
