Greater Anglia, knowing a storm was coming, didn't have any contingency plan, leaving everyone out in the cold, telling everyone to get to Colchester.
H
2:07HenryPANELIST
So I hopped in with a young Forest fan and her mate and another guy who lived in Colchester and we were all trying to cobble together.
H
2:14HenryPANELIST
And when we got to Colchester, the Forest rung had run her dad to come and pick her up from East London and offered me a lift.
H
2:53HenryPANELIST
I got to Canning Town about one and then it was the tube from Canning Town to Green Park.
H
3:01HenryPANELIST
And then it was a night bus to Twickenham, which got me in at 3 a.m. And as that comment you just said, streaky traffic.
H
3:09HenryPANELIST
164 for the cab they were telling everyone to stay over in Ipswich and just buy cabs to wherever you lived my cab from Ipswich to Twickenham was £300 if I wanted to do that but I didn't trust them to reimburse me quickly so I didn't take that option but the amount of money it must have cost Greater Anglia was huge after that big football game at Ipswich

The heavily delayed lifts at Stowmarket railway station could finally open next month, more than six months after a new £5.5 million footbridge opened to the public.
T
14:24Tony SandbachHOST
A Greater Anglia spokesperson said, subject to final testing, the lifts are expected to be operational in November.
T
14:31Tony SandbachHOST
They said final safety measures were being carried out as part of a two-phase plan to fully open the AVA bridge, which opened to pedestrians in April following a series of delays.
T
14:43Tony SandbachHOST
The project, the first of its kind in the UK, was funded through the Government's Access for All scheme to improve accessibility at the station, including the installation of two lifts to provide step-free access between platforms.
T
15:16Tony SandbachHOST
People don't realise how inaccessible the world is until they get a disability, or even a temporary disability like a broken leg or something.
T
15:24Tony SandbachHOST
But for someone like me, who is constantly having to evaluate and adapt my plans, having to tackle those stairs is so frustrating.
T
15:33Tony SandbachHOST
Other residents and commuters have raised concerns about the delays, with some describing Greater Anglia's lack of communication around the project as embarrassing.
T
15:42Tony SandbachHOST
Resident Andrew Hall said, It's like they don't want to talk about it because they know it's embarrassing.

However, the scale of growth planned at Meridian Water requires a clear pathway to four trains per hour.
M
43:27MelHOST
This will require targeted infrastructure investment and wider network capacity enhancements." The dispatch approached both the Mayor's office in Greater Anglia, the recently nationalized operator of Meridian Water Station, for responses to the concerns raised.
M
43:44MelHOST
A spokesperson for Khan said, "The Mayor is aware of the concerns raised by Meridian Water residents, and his deputy mayor for transport will meet with Councillor Georgiou to discuss the asks for Greater Anglia, who operate the station and its services.
M
44:00MelHOST
The Mayor recognizes that Londoners need more homes in the right places with connections to jobs and other local services.
M
44:08MelHOST
His draft London plan makes clear that housing delivery and economic growth is only possible with investment in transport and other crucial infrastructure.
M
44:17MelHOST
That's why he's working closely with government on possible rail devolution projects across London that could bring substantial benefits to local communities in addition to supporting significant housing delivery.
M
44:31MelHOST
The Mayor will continue doing everything in his power to drive vital investment and sustainable growth across the capital as we build a better, fairer, more prosperous London for everyone." A Greater Anglia spokesperson said, "We will work with other stakeholders and other partners, including TFL, Transport for London, and local councils to try and secure the funding and investment that would enable the improvements that the council has set out as future aspirations." Also concerned about the lack of improvements at Meridian Water is Selina Doswell, vice-chair of local residents group REACT.
M

She said, "We have repeatedly questioned why a station of this size lacks a drop-off point.
