.Southeastern your roaming mobility team didn’t turn up at Kidbrooke this morning. Lovely ticket office staff member got me on the train. Apparently this happened to someone else yesterday. What will happen when you close the ticket office?

Absolutely gutted. After train strikes, snow and who knows what else last year which cancelled my multiple bookings, I finally had tickets to see @GrantLeeTweets at PizzaExpress Live tonight. Now told the lift is out so I can’t go. Please come back to the UK ASAP 🤞

Bringing in the year with Auld Lang Syne by @GrantLeeTweets again. Maybe 2024 will be the year I get to see him live after a disastrous 2023?!

.Southeastern passenger assistance fail at Kidbrooke this morning. No assistance staff turned up despite pre-booking and no ticket office staff either!
