Would be interested to find out where @JamesCleverly stands on this.
Replying to @BTP
@BTP @MayorofLondon I’ve just seen some oxygen thief push their way through the barriers in the Alexandra Palace station foyer in full view of a @GNRailUK staff member. Needless to say, they went unchallenged. This ultra tolerance of aggressive fare evasion is unjustifiable.

Dear @Heidi_Labour, There needs to be an urgent and forensic investigation of @GNRailUK’s persistent culture of failure. I don’t know whether they’re running down the service because they’re expecting to be stripped of the franchise.
Replying to @GNRailUK
@GNRailUK EXPLAIN your totally unjustified and inexcusable failure to deliver services between Alexandra Palace and Moorgate to any sort of reasonable standard this morning. Cc @Heidi_Labour.

Almost every day there's a fault on a train that causes widespread disruption. Given these trains are only 6 or 7 years old, what's being done to address the high number of failures?

Amid all the guff, just this: I am proud to work for BBC News & even prouder to work alongside so many outstanding colleagues. We are not perfect; we must always strive to be better. But in a darkening world, we remain a shaft of light. Worth mulling. All best from Kyiv.

My novel, DARK IN DIFFERENT WAYS is a slow-burning odyssey through the murkier side of Sydney. #AustralianFiction #LiteraryFiction #LiteraryThriller jd-patterson.com/dark-in-dif…

Charlotte Rampling gets a round of applause from fans after she spent considerable time signing autographs and posing for photos ahead of the Father Mother Sister Brother world premiere. She soaked in the attention and took a bow to thank them. #Venezia82

I saw something very similar at Alexandra Palace last week. What is going on @GNRailUK @tfl @BTP and @MayorofLondon?
Hello again @TfL. Staff on circa 40k a year standing and watching people barge through barriers with no tickets. 👏👏 Money well spent.

Not impressed, @networkrail.

I wouldn't know, I'm afraid. I'd advise getting in touch with Network Rail, who are the organisation responsible for engineering works. ^Will

Given his recent campaign, @RobertJenrick might be interested in the fare-dodging that seems to be allowed at Alexandra Palace Station.
Replying to @GNRailUK
@GNRailUK @TfL @BTP Just in case you hadn’t realised, Alexandra Palace Station has become a soft target for fare dodgers, who go unchallenged by staff. As one of the majority of passengers who pay their way, I resent being leeched off.

I have written to my local @HaringeyLibDems councillor, Alexandra Rossetti about the antisocial behaviour at Alexandra Palace Station. Look forward to her response.
Replying to @GNRailUK
@GNRailUK @MPSHaringey @haringeycouncil Alexandra Palace Station seems to have become a hotspot for antisocial behaviour in the evenings. I am sure it would be much appreciated if you could collaborate to do something about this. I will follow up with an email.

I have also noticed that homophobic hate crime seems to have become increasingly normalised in London over the last couple of years. @MayorofLondon @TfL @metpoliceuk

‘Not within our control’. Perhaps @Heidi_Labour can help @GNRailUK out.
Replying to @_JD_Patterson
Hello, this has been delayed due to a late running train in front of this one. This is not something within our control I'm afraid. ^HG
