'disseminates'
Haha that's a word I've never come across. Thankfully I (and slightly most) of the rest of this country voted similar & so we don't do the customer is always right tosh like America & others.
On top of this, we had a delay on GA a few weeks ago, where several different reasons for the delay were being disseminated at the same time. That should never happen. TOCs need to realise that if they can communicate well in these situations people will be a lot happier; accurate and consistent information should be delivered as a priority, not as a necessary chore once they've done "the important stuff".
Of course, passengers don't actually need to know the cause of any delay. They need to know that there is one, how bad it will be and if it will clear soon.
1st example. You forgot 'Congestion' . An awful phrase that has entered the railway's language.
2nd example. The sooner you restore right time running the less there is to tweet. For anyone that hasn't worked in Control when the job has gone to the wall (which will be most posters), it is a difficult place to be. Some controllers are unflappable, but it takes a certain personality to cope with everything being thrown at you.
Better not chance that in front of the 09.00 Norwich to Liverpool St then
So much involved sadly. Crossing now just pedestrians only but subway would be below the water table & local residents rejected the footbridge option as overlooking their gardens.That would do the trick.
Any word on the 50mph TSR at Needham Market on the down? All my contacts shrug their shoulders, seems an intractable problem.
What about a tubular footbridge? Or one with really high sides that you can't see over?

Indeed again. Closer to home the Fens have been drained for centuries, extensively since the 17th century.Indeed. I know the history well. The water table doesn't seem to worry the Dutch though, ironically
Not sure on that one. I'd say no.Is such a structure viable? Like the idea though. However would probably have to be secured by CCTV.
Isn't the subway at Manningtree at or below the water table?

How much of the Greater Anglia improvements depend on Crossrail freeing up platforms at Liverpool St? It looks like it might now be difficult to introduce a new timetable until May 2021.
