This has been resolved for the moment and quickly but it did cause a lot of logistical stress. Also @CrossCountryUK when are you sorting out the afternoon service?
So that’s a GAP of 2.5 hours. This is a disaster. There needs to be a replacement bus service. What is happening @CrossCountryUK @tfwrail @GWRHelp @Mark_J_Harper @DavidTCDavies @RichardGrahamUK @AlexChalkChelt #backontracklydneyandchepstow
This train won’t be stopping at Gloucester anymore, giving the school kids at Gloucester a 2.5 hour wait. This isn’t OK! #safeguarding @Mark_J_Harper @DavidTCDavies @RichardGrahamUK @AlexChalkChelt @CrossCountryUK @tfwrail

And just when we thought things couldn't get worse...the 17:00 from Gloucester to Lydney is no longer on the schedule. That's over a 2.5 hr. gap just when our children need a service most! @CrossCountryUK @transport_wales please sort this once and for all!
Good morning everyone, please make sites you fill in the Chepstow Transport Study @BackOnTrackLC
I’ve just completed my responses to the Chepstow Transport Study. If you have a moment to spare, please do so too- it’s very simple and this is a chance to send a clear massage about how to solve the congestion and air quality problems that plague our area gloucestershire.gov.uk/counc…
We are still waiting and because of covid in schools children are not travelling together, they’re travelling separately! It’s a safeguarding issue. @CrossCountryUK @tfwrail @RailDeliveryGrp @Mark_J_Harper @DavidTCDavies #backontracklydneyandchepstow #closethegap #safeguarding
Please don't ignore us! We were told on the 16th of October that you would work to find a solution to get our children home safely and we have heard nothing since. @BBCGlos @GlosLiveOnline
There is no safety in numbers anymore my daughter used to come home with 4 other children and 3 of them our isolating! The children are spread over different trains, that doesn’t help with #safeguarding or #wellbeing @Mark_J_Harper @DavidTCDavies @tfwrail @CrossCountryUK @GWRHelp
@CrossCountryUK My 11 year old daughter is still waiting! 75 minutes per day, to be precise, to catch the 1st train home after school from Gloucester to Lydney. She is cold & frustrated & on a couple of occasions scared. Please help! @Mark_J_Harper @DavidTCDavies @BackOnTrackLC
Please can we have a solution @CrossCountryUK @tfwrail @GWRHelp @Mark_J_Harper @DavidTCDavies @RailDeliveryGrp @BackOnTrackLC #backontracklydneyandchepstow #safeguarding #Wellbeing
It’s dark, it’s cold, we need to #CloseTheGap of 90 minutes waiting for the Lydney & Chepstow train at GloucesterStation. Some kids are waiting alone because their travel buddies are self-isolating. #safeguarding #wellbeing @CrossCountryUK @Mark_J_Harper @DavidTCDavies
There’s still a problem with the train home. There’s a train at 14.48, 15.27 and then 17.00 from Glos to Lydney. We need to #closethegap We haven’t heard anything since the clocks changed. #safeguarding #backtoschoolsafely @Mark_J_Harper @DavidTCDavies @tfwrail @CrossCountryUK
Urgent Urgent Urgent
The clocks have changed, the kids are back at school and we still have a GAP of 1.5 hours in the timetable at Gloucester station! Kids leave school at 15.25 or 15.30 and miss the 14.50 by a long shot, just miss 15.27 and have to wait 90 mins for 4 the 1700
We need to sort this to ensure the safety of our children #backtoschoolsafely #safeguarding #backontracklydneyandchepstow #closethegap CrossCountry trains Transport for Wales - Rail Services Great Western Railway Mark Harper David TC Davies MP Richard Graham #GloucesterStation
Kids back to school from tomorrow & need to #CloseTheGap at Glos station, kids will be hanging around station from 1527 until 1700 without a safe place to wait, cafe shut, no waiting train. Need urgent help @CrossCountryUK @tfwrail @Mark_J_Harper @RichardGrahamUK #safeguarding
We’re half way there. Morning journey sorted. We need to reinstate the afternoon service to #closethegap in the Gloucester timetable. Thank you @BBCGlos for reporting this morning. @Mark_J_Harper @DavidTCDavies @tfwrail @CrossCountryUK @FEP2050 @GlosCC @MonmouthshireCC
We need this fixed before the children go back to school #backtoschoolsafely #backontracklydneyandchepstow @Mark_J_Harper @DavidTCDavies @LydneyTown @MomouthshireCC @GlosCC
Do you see our coming home problem? We need to #CloseTheGap @RichardGrahamUK @AlexChalkChelt @Mark_J_Harper @DavidTCDavies @grantshapps @CrossCountryUK @tfwrail
