@chilternrailway the 8.06 from Beaconsfield is much much more crammed than the old service. We are wedged in like on a rush hour tube. This cannot be the new normal for the key commuting days Tuesday - Thursday.

@chilternrailway was the 8.06 from BCF to MYB a short train this morning? It is rammed and boiling hot 🥵

@chilternrailway @ant_w_robbo Any indication on how long this might take?

@ant_w_robbo The team are currently working to rectify the situation so aim to have you moving again as soon as possible.

We apologise that due to a broken down train between South Ruislip and Wembley Stadium the line towards London will be blocked.

@chilternrailway there is a problem with my delay repay refund and the website keeps telling me that my session has expired so I cannot log in to check the status of my claim. Is there a known issue?

@chilternrailway the 8.06 from BCF to MYB on Tuesdays is always completely packed and people at GX sometimes can’t get on and it’s nearly £30 for the privilege. The train timetable needs reviewing urgently as there are fewer trains and more people back in the office.
