Thanks for the links sorry . .

On Friday I travelled on the GA network and there were 168 cancellations due to signalling problems on the rural routes , the cancellations on the Norwich to Sheringham route have been ongoing for a couple of weeks , on Friday was at Ely only one service operated (Norwich to Cambridge) one of...

GA increase the price of Rovers every year including Anglia Plus , in line with the general increase I know as I buy them. This year was very different though. And in return offered travellers nothing more .IE A reduction in restrictions.

Not sure I won't be buying many more at that price sure .! Have asked GA for their rationale for doing so ,have also emailed my MP asking about 25% fare increases on GA routes. Looking forward to seeing the justification when most tickets went up 3.5% .

I travel on my own so no railcard for me bought one at Ely yesterday 25% price increase on both the Anglia Plus Day Rover and the Three in 7 Flexi rover ,thats how to fill off peak GA rural trains .fewer trips for me in that direction this year. Day rover up from £19 to £24 the Flexi up from...

Yes and I have noticed recently that off peak advance tickets on the Harlow Essex to Norfolk western routes via Cambridge are disappearing too. Could have something to do with the bus rotes from Norwich station being included but are they really worth a £5 extra on a Anglia plus ticket.? I...

Hi travelling in East Anglia today and noticed the ranger tickets up by 25% , from £19 to £24, I know it’s a non regulated fare , seems a bit steep though , as they are supposedly trying to encourage more off peak travel . Not sure of the rationale for such an increase , when most fares went up...

Thanks guys it was one of those things GA staff were giving out coffee on the platform so I waited rather then get a cab to diss . Swills post is great thought it might have been a bit technical.

Hi does anybody know what time the signalling problems got fixed at Norwich last night 29/12/2018 a major signal failure meant hours of waiting. As both the Ger Line and The western link shut down . I heard one of the staff say its the longest outage they have known though perhaps that was not...

It was staff need to know when things go right as well as wrong , GA gets some bad press but it’s not all bad .

I would like to thank GA staff at Cambridge at 21:00 last night travelling with a disability. The station manger on duty looked after me making adjustments so I could travel, well done GA.

People do have a right to offend others sensibilities , but when travelling on trains that’s possiby not the route to an amicable resolution , in fact from expierience I know it’s not .! No it’s definitely not fair on you , and if I was that person I would hopefully see your point of view ...

Indeed and also would have ramped the situation up somewhat ,causing even more problems like pouring petrol onto a fire.

Correct but to me the term is offensive ,I would rather people be more polite but hey perhaps its just me, when dealing with people with mental health issues the language used is everything ,including the guard saying with in earshot "Want this passenger off my train" ,its all about sensitivity.

They did not but acting inappropriately as a disabled person myself I find the term offensive because to me that would be normal.
