@SouthernRailUK Should have gone to BML2, which would provide another route into and out of Brighton.

⚠️ The line between Haywards Heath and Gatwick Airport, towards Gatwick airport, is blocked. 🛤 This is due to a points failure. ℹ️ Service information will follow below.

@SouthernRailUK Oh dear! If only there was a suitable alternative. Hang on. What about BML2?

⚠ We have received reports of a landslip between Three Bridges and Gatwick Airport. 📢 Trains in the direction of Gatwick Airport from the south are subject to delays. ℹ️ More information to follow...

@SouthernRailUK Oh, how managers must wish there is an alternative and suitable route into Brighton. But wait, there is a solution! Managers should press for BML2 to be implemented. Search Google for details of BML2 and demand it happens.

⚠️ Due to a number of incidents between Brighton and Gatwick Airport, services will be subject to delays, amendments and possible cancellations. 🗣️ Please ensure to check your journey before arriving at the station this morning. ℹ More to follow.

@SouthernRailUK I have lost count of the number of times that Network Rail and the DfT have been told that in these circumstances the argument for using an extended alternative route via Uckfield has been well made. Perhaps one day they will listen?!

❗️ You are strongly advised to check before you travel tonight. Please consider amending your journey plans and travel earlier in the evening. For more info please visit: southernrailway.com/travel-informa…

🚧 Network Rail are carrying out urgent repairs to the track between Three Bridges and Brighton tonight, from approximately 23:30 until 09:00 tomorrow (Sunday 3rd July) Train services from London to Brighton will finish earlier than planned this evening. ⬇️

@Railfuture Nor Uckfield to Lewes. So, more millions spent on replacement buses when Brighton Main Line disrupted, and more lost revenue because people/tourists cannot get to the tourist hot-spot that is Brighton

We've been through the papers and so far we are >Overall “Disappointed”<: 1 Very Disappointed, 7 * Disappointed , 1 * Mainly disappointed (ie elements of ‘Good’ and ‘Small start’), 1 * Good start and 1 *To be Determined. See: railfuture.org.uk/display2843

@SimonCalder Forgive me. This is my first time on twitter so I apologise if I am out of order. I have been waiting for a 2020 holiday from Classic Package Holidays since July. I need help to get my money. Have tried travel agent, CMA, Watchdog, MP with no success. Desperation reigns!

Aviation-related things to do with £80. 1 Buy a British Airways return from Heathrow to Nice in June. 2 Pay Air Passenger Duty on a long-haul economy flight* (* goes up to £82 on Thursday) 3 Order a British Airways first class dinner for two. independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…

Help needed. Holiday 2020 refund not paid. Booked via travel agent with Classic Package Holiday. Refund offered July, still not paid. What must I do? Thanks
