The on board announcer and customer service person Jonathan announcements were great. Joking, informative and wonderfully light hearted. When he came through the train he had a warm smiling personality and really was a breath of fresh air. He deserves huge appreciation and credit for his work.

We had a situation when my Grandaughter… We had a situation when my Grandaughter caught an incorrect train and ended up at New St Station, Birmingham. She was taken to the ticket office by a wonderful lady who intended to purchase my Grandaughter a ticket and to take her to the correct train. At the ticket office the absolute star named Vinne took control of the situation. He telephoned me to reassure me and even arranged a taxi to get her home safely !! This man is an absolute star!!! Such a helpful man, even calling to make sure that she had arrived home safely. Such kindness from the lady on the train and then Vinne. I am so impressed and grateful, thank you so so much. Excellent!

Crossing closure at Cononley They have closed a well-used pedestrian rail crossing and RIGHT OF WAY at Cononley because the horn on one of the LNER trains is not loud enough. It's been shut since November 2020, now extended to December 2021 and the alternative route is dangerous. Now making excuses about cutting back vegetation to improve sighting? - not good enough, sort the train out and open the crossing NOW. If you're not careful people will start to think you just want an excuse to close the crossing forever.

Big shout out to the off track 🚂 team… Big shout out to the off track 🚂 team based out of the coleham depot (Shrewsbury) Network Rail who were putting in the new crossing by the Wern. Great job and they created a much safer access 👌 They let us have some left over items for our projects, which will help the local community young and old, it was very much appreciated, especially the encouragement from Dinesh Patel ❤️ thanks to one of are volunteers Joe swaine for his help also 💪

Part 2 sex and drugs How can one individual get the top job at Network Rail, went off work sick for six months on full pay, but staff were told that this individual was seconded to another region. The reason was he was caught by his ex partner cheating with his P.A. you really could not make this up, the womaniser has had the backing from his seniors to take public sector taxpayers money while he sat a home pretending to be seconded at another depot.
