New @chilternrailway train sitting at Banbury this morning
These are being introduced next year
(Am I really posting about trains?!)

@irvind Hi there, can you tell me the journey you were trying to book where you saw a booking fee being applied? Also, are you using a VPN or a non-UK registered card when making the booking. Thanks.

@thetrainline
Not particularly enjoying these new graphics, seems like it takes longer to get the tickets
Just want the tickets really
You’re a ticketing app catering to people who are often in a hurry
Confetti takes time to fall
Another rammed full trip on the 10:40 Banbury to Marylebone @chilternrailway@CustomersofCR
So hot a woman fainted right next to me. Not the first time this has happened either
How long till you proved a decent service on a Saturday?
@chilternrailway@CustomersofCR A network without enough trains and carriages isn’t much of a network
It’s like me playing keyboards on a west end show and making a decision to only play with one hand, telling everyone that’s all I have
You have a choice
10:40 then an 11:40?
It’s not enough
@irvind@CustomersofCR Hi, we are sorry to hear this, I hope that the passenger is okay, we have notified our control team. Unfortunately, we are operating with all available carriages, we do not have any additional trains going spare. ^LEX
@MBrundleF1 I’ve met him several times, he’s a thoroughly decent, humble human being
People made a big deal out of very little here
It’s classy to offer an apology, so well done
It is me who should be apologising to Sir Brian May, not him to me for the gridwalk on Sunday at Silverstone. I didn’t address him as Sir Brian, and I shouldn’t have approached him twice when he wasn’t up for a chat on live TV. Nobody is ever obliged to talk to me on the grid, or anywhere else for that matter.
BATMAN BEGINS was released 19 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great superhero origin movies and the film that catapulted the career of Christopher Nolan, the making of story is mysterious as The League of Shadows…

@waughzone@chilternrailway Yup
The 22:30 will be 5 carriages, rammed full
The 23:07 will be 2 carriages, rammed full
“Oh, sorry, we don’t have any more carriages!”
Like me saying I’ve already played too many notes that day and CBA 🎶
And tomorrow’s not looking good either.. 🤯
@irvind@chilternrailway It’s almost like they don’t know these are busy trains. The late night ones back are the same - people standing all the way to Banbury on 3 carriage trains. Put some more carriages on!!
@chilternrailway You’re absolutely not doing everything you can to improve your service, as this is regularly a 6 carriage train - today being no exception - it’s just particularly busy today
So stop sending out the standard apology tweets as if you care, and invest in some more carriages?
@irvind We apologise for your experience. Unfortunately, all of our carriages are in daily use. We share your frustration and are doing everything we can to improve our service strength. For more information, visit (chilternrailways.co.uk/chiltern-railw…) ^CK
