Thanks @lner.co.uk, we finally got an announcement after a running delay, for now, at 40 min. But at least it’s just a signalling problem. (Yesterday’s was tragic.)

Dex @dexmd.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

@lner.co.uk , what’s up? On a train (to London King’s Cross) stuck at Doncaster. Nearly 30 min delay now, but there’s no announcement at all. Very uncharacteristic, I thought…. 😏

Horrid rail disruptions at the east coast line earlier today. But this lovely fella, an 8-week puppy, on board the @lner.co.uk improved everyone’s mood!

Massive delays on the East Coast line this afternoon due to an incident. More than doubled travel time. Fortunately, staff on this @lner.co.uk train has been fab. Keeping us informed. And fed. 🤓

I could see from my train window the glorious full moon rising on the horizon. Tried taking a snapshot. The camera sees my reflection on the window instead. Silly me. 🤪

Due to an incident, there’s rail travel ‘chaos’ affecting the north east of England today. But staff of @lner.co.uk on board 18:29 train towards London has been fab. When you typically just hear dead silence, we receive regular updates. And even if there was nothing update, you hear reassurance. 🤗

British rail experience when no too much heat, too much snow, too cold, too much leaves could be used as an excuse to disruptions. 😫

What can happen on East Coast rail travel on a benign weather? Let me count the ways. First, a delayed train arrival at Newcastle due to an earlier ‘failure’. @lner.co.uk
