@AvantiWestCoast Ok most of them just showing Delayed , which presumably doesn’t count . Any idea when this will clear?

@finkyjd If your booked service is cancelled you can travel on either of the two before or after without amending the ticket - Lucy

@AvantiWestCoast when do you expect the disruption that’s had you cancelling trains EUS-BHM to clear so u can run to timetable ?

@AvantiWestCoast That’s other operators. Can I use an advance on an earlier service You operate or have I got to wait for it to become delayed like all the others?

@finkyjd All our ticket acceptance is up to date on our social feeds, Dan - Lucy

@Heidi_Labour don’t think there’s been a day in the last fortnight where Kings Lynn to London via Cambridge services haven’t been hugely disrupted meaning misery for @GNRailUK customers day after day. As it’s publicly owned now how do we get things to improve?

@GNRailUK You only ran the 1718 to Ely so you’ve cancelled it. Yet again the customers with the longest journey who’ve paid the most , get short changed. You cancel KLN-KGX at the drop of hat these days.

Hi Dan, the 17:18 was delayed but it departed King's Cross at 17:55. This was the reason why the 17:48 was consequently delayed. Normally, when a fault on a train occurs, our crews will gather details and report this to our Fleet teams. If possible, the defect will be fixed promptly, and we'll get the train on the way. Our initial steps are designed to take around 10 minutes. However, sometimes the fault cannot be fixed in this time frame. We're very sorry for the disruption, and we'd like to thank you for bearing with us. ^Silva

@GNRailUK so a repeat run of yesterday’s awful service 1718 cancelled due to a fault & 1748 late & getting later. What is wrong with your service?

@BerCee54 @Peston Can you share the equivalent tweets from your account when Truss, May, Sunak & Johnson became PM unelected or hadn’t you been programmed then?

@Peston He’s not my PM … #generalelectionnow

The words that come into my head when I think about Andy Burnham as prime-minister-in-waiting are “president” and “Boris Johnson.” As I said on News at Ten last night, his ambition to transfer significant financial and policy powers from Westminster to the regions - mayors and local government - would weaken the power of his cabinet while enhancing his, with his planned Downing Street North as overseer of this distributed power. This is redolent of French or American separation of presidential/executive, parliamentary and state/municipal powers more than the British tradition. It may be a good thing. It may be the sine qua non of narrowing the wealth and income gaps between London/south-east and the rest of the UK. But we do not have a directly elected president. And even if this kind of constitutional change bores you to tears, it matters: we’ve had a parliamentary system that has muddled through for 250 years, give or take. Although it may make very good sense to end the near absolute power of centralising Westminster departments and their often ove-confident secretaries of state, while transferring vital economic decisions to elected mayors or councillors who know what their communities actually need, it is not so conspicuously the case that MPs themselves need cutting down to size. They should think hard about what kind of role they want in this new system of newly distributed power. There is a case for saying they - in some kind of British version of American confessional committees - should have more oversight over Burnham’s much expanded Office of the Prime Minister, mayors and economic regulators. If they don’t hold the new quasi presidential system to account, who would - especially when so much of Burnham’s personal authority will flow from a presidential style of talking to and directly connecting with voters? Which brings me to the Boris Johnson echoes. They are that First, Tory MPs saw him - just as Labour MPs see Burnham - as some kind of election winning messiah. Second, Johnson talked an incessant talk of narrowing the gap between north and south, which he called “levelling up”, his version of Burnham’s “Manchesterism” - but no serious transfer of decision making to local people ever accompanied “levelling up”, and most would say it was hot air Third, Johnson - like Burnham - exploited his figurehead status as a former mayor, his popularity and a personal connection with voters that he ruthlessly cultivated. In Johnson’s case, he capitalised on all that to call a snap general election, which he won handsomely, more than two years before he needed to do so - and it is not far-fetched to say that Burnham will also feel the siren call of securing a personal mandate from the electorate (whether he executes on that or not). I don’t know whether Johnson is a model, or a warning or an augury of things to come. But if Burnham and Labour MPs need a lesson in what can go disastrously wrong when a leader is chosen mid term in a tide of messianic fervour, they have access to a case study whose consequences are still being played out.

@gary29962 @_FinancialFox_ @GNRailUK Platform wasn’t called until intended departure time 1748. Not surprised folk are reaching out by other means.

@_FinancialFox_ @GNRailUK You have the ability to go on here and ask but can't use a journey planer to check this yourself? Most platforms don't get advertised straight away while the train is being cleaned and set up.

@GNRailUK both 1726 and 1756 to Cambridge (I’m going to Letchworth) has been cancelled. Can I get alternative from King’s Cross great northern to Letchworth?

Cancelled at Cambridge. You left it till gone the last minute to announce the platform at KGX and now the following train has a carriage that doesn’t work. @GNRailUK

@GNRailUK usual quality service at least an hour delay

@Tales_TimeLord You are wrong. It doesn’t hold any water as an idea based on what was shown on screen during her introduction nor her appearance in expanded media. By all means stick your fingers in your ear and say la-la-la but she’s 100% prehartnell.

I believe Fugitive is the 3rd Doctor from Season 6b And any story that says she's Pre-Hartnell is therefore non-canon I also know I'm wrong, but bite me

@commonswings @Maffc_GB @andueza330 The convo in Drs Wife, “you stole me, I stole you” are referring to Two different events. TARDIS likes being a police box & reverts back at the 1st opportunity (ala attack of the cybermen)

@Maffc_GB @andueza330 This annoys me so much. So many things about the Timeless Children annoy me but the TARDIS still as police box is probably the most egregious

The fans who believe in the Fugitive is between the second and third doctor theory may some of the most delusional people. Her entire character introduction is to estabalish pre-Hartnell incarnations, it makes no sense for to be in between two and three.

@Maffc_GB @andueza330 If looks are so important to canon why do you thing Fugitive was wearing the second Drs clothes when they regenerated into Pertwee - what he’s wearing when he falls out of Tardis at start of SFS. Was she cosplaying ? There are however sensible explanations for Tardis shape

@andueza330 It makes no sense that the TARDIS is already stuck as a police box for a pre hartnell doctor since it wasn't when he stole it (or she stole him) In fact Susan stated in ep1 "why hasn't it changed this time" implying it previously did while they had it

@Stewie_32 @JoanyEmd @GNRailUK They could have just changed the calling points for KLN-KGX so that the extra stops were included. So no changes required & the people travelling the furthest distance..and paying the most aren’t subject to the additional delay of waiting for a connection

@JoanyEmd @finkyjd @GNRailUK It can, but due 2other services serving KGX/STP from CBG it's been deemed 2reduce track usage by cutting the KLN-KGX-KLN services. - The likelihood of track issues increase with mor wheels going over said track. I understand the inconvenience, but mor stations r served this way.

@GNRailUK please can someone explain why the service from King's Lynn to London has been cancelled all this week? Trains are running but with a change at Cambridge so it's adding on a lot of additional time. An hour wait alone today.

@Tesco what the chuff is up with yr supply chain for veggie food. Order due tomorrow and literally every fresh/frozen veg item is unavailable.

@GNRailUK @JoanyEmd I don’t get it. You are still running a train down every section of the route. How does it being a different set of wheels make any difference to the railway?

Ultimately this is to try and protect the railway from damage due to the heat. Different geographical locations on the route can experience different amounts of pressure during periods of hot weather. All different options would've been explored before making widespread cancellations on a particular route. ^Kirsty

@GNRailUK I’ve an appointment and an advance ticket. If I need to travel earlier that has practical consequences (what time we book taxi, get up etc) tomorrow morning is too late to change those plans.

@finkyjd Hi there Dan, journey planners are being updated with the latest information as soon as we are aware of the train plan. Our website, X threads and journey planners will be updated if we expect our services to be impacted by the hot weather over the weekend. ^Liv

@GNRailUK so what’s the plan for tomorrow’s trains KLN-KGX? Your app & journey planner advise you’re running normal timetable (it’s 4pm the day before)

@GNRailUK @LKBU__ So if the train is moving, your control can’t message a driver to tell them to stop the train if they know there’s an incident down track? That doesn’t sound terribly safety conscious

@LKBU__ The driver is not able to receive a call from control when the train is operational. I have re-advised the train service manager here to contact the driver ^Scottie

Is the AC not on aboard your 0730 service from LET to KGX @GNRailUK
