Possibly a technical error. Channel 4 sells advertising across six regions: London, South of England, Midlands, North of England, Ulster and Scotland.

I wonder if the Kings Lynn - Cambridge shuttle is harder to deliver because there is less joining and splitting of trains at Cambridge and so less stock and drivers available? Previously they'd have routinely had stock going into sidings but now as I understand the entire train usually runs the...

The tenant was Samsung I believe. In the building opposite the station that also houses the Co-op. When I went a few weeks ago the signage for most of their spaces had been covered up and returned to general use. Hopefully that remains as in a few weeks I have a late meeting in London and need...

I read this as SDLT or the equivalent in other parts of the UK

This has caught me out in the past as an occasional traveller resulting in an unexpected trip to Water each fortunately with a rather well timed return train.

Yes the flyover is slower but better for service reliability

Useful to know. Most of the time when I go to London for work it is for an entire day so parking isn’t too much of an issue but occasionally I have afternoon meetings only so will have to travel earlier and try and kill the time. This car park wasn’t anywhere near as bad until they gave over a...

Cambridge North has now developed a parking problem. A number of rows of parking have been allocated as "reserved" as you enter the car park with signage pointing to the front of the car park for general parking. The only problem when people arrived at lunchtime today there was a lack of any...

As a non technical person why isn't two out of the three trains sufficient to pull the required power or is it they can't share that with the middle one?

This was my understanding because delays at Gatwick could end up being transmitted across the Thameslink network.

I guess part of the problem is Cambridge needing more through platforms than they have today and fewer bays. Not a problem that is easily resolved.

Is there a particular cause for why trains get re-platformed between 1 and 7 or 8? It seems to happen more than occasionally and the volumes of people it involves is always significant. Is there anything that can be done proactively with platforming to reduce the risk? It happened this morning...

I imagine the five car variants had started to be delivered by the time the decision was made to change the ten car variant.

Thanks. Looks like south of Cambridge is open but north is closed.

When will engineering works for Easter be available for the Greater Anglia routes? I'm looking to plan something and assuming that south of Cambridge is likely to be blocked so wondering if any options north will be closed.

I work in an entirely different industry but this approach seems familiar. Staff feeling they need to do something for their customers/clients because of a lack of resource. As someone in management I don't see why staff should be made to feel guilty for other people's failings.

The Cambridge stopping service route has selective door opening as a number of stations have short platforms.

Brilliant that will make a last minute platform change from 1 to 7/8 or vice versa even more hard work.

I think one key to the Haverhill rail link is how well integrated Cambridge South is to the Cambridge bus network and especially to the various sites around Addenbrookes. A significant volume of people in Haverhill work on the Addenbrookes site and given the growth of it over the next few years...

From what has been said I'm not even sure it needs to know the pans are down. It feels like the issue is that the rare times a train doesn't have to stop is what causes the issue. Just being forced to stop is likely to eliminate the issue almost entirely.
