:03:23. > :03:27.night between unhappy passengers, MPs, train operator Abellio Greater
:03:28. > :03:32.Anglia and Network Rail. We discussed
:03:33. > :03:34.the disruption that has happened in the last few months and the reasons
:03:35. > :03:37.for that and what can be put right. We discussed things

:03:59. > :04:05.are problems on the train. People being on
:04:06. > :04:09.the station always helps. Also if they are overcrowded
:04:10. > :04:12.and you only have four carrhages and it?s a busy weekend,
:04:13. > :04:15.that is really annoying. When I have used the servicd,
:04:16. > :04:18.I have not had any problems. They seem to be quite good
:04:19. > :04:21.and quite informative. Now MPs, rail bosses and passengers
:04:22. > :04:23.all lobbying government togdther because they say more investment is
:04:24. > :04:27.the only thing that's going to Well, Jonathan Denby from
:04:28. > :04:37.Abellio Greater Anglia met with Earlier, I asked him
:04:38. > :04:54.his response to the meeting. It was a constructive meeting and a
:04:55. > :04:59.number of issues were raised. It also looked at wider issues in terms
:05:00. > :05:04.of continuing to improve performance, cleanliness and
:05:05. > :05:08.customer information. Last lonth, thousands of passengers werd left
:05:09. > :05:11.stranded and we had 24 hours of misery for passengers using your
:05:12. > :05:16.trains. What are you doing specifically to make sure that does
:05:17. > :05:31.not happen again? Network R`il have an enhanced monitoring procdss. The
:05:32. > :05:33.problem with the signalling problem with the signalling
:05:34. > :05:38.equipment outside Liverpool Street station. They have now one of their

:05:42. > :05:47.see how we can improve the provision of information and we are looking at
:05:48. > :05:51.all the processes to get th`t information to passengers as quickly
:05:52. > :05:58.as possible. A lot of passengers get stung with these price rises. How
:05:59. > :06:01.can you justify that? The price structure is decided by the
:06:02. > :06:07.government of the day. We try and make sure we operate the best value
:06:08. > :06:11.and passengers expect us to improving services and get ` more
:06:12. > :06:15.liable service all the time on a consistent basis. How important is
:06:16. > :06:20.it for you and local MPs and passengers to lobby governmdnt to
:06:21. > :06:27.try and get that extra investment in our rail network? We are now all
:06:28. > :06:30.batting together. I think wd are confident that if we keep ptshing
:06:31. > :06:42.together and keep our voice being heard we have a good chance of
:06:43. > :06:44.making some progress. That's it from me. Let's get the
:06:45. > :06:54.weather from Alex. The rest of the night is looking to
:06:55. > :06:57.ride. They will be clear spdlls around and some mist patches.
:06:58. > :07:04.Temperatures are expected to stay in mid`teens overnight. A
:07:05. > :07:09.north`westerly wind will be a feature tomorrow and it's going to
:07:10. > :07:12.be a bright start but quickly turning cloudy and the chance of
:07:13. > :07:17.some patchy rain moving in from the North Sea into the afternoon. It is
:07:18. > :07:23.on the North Norfolk coast where it might stay quite chilly in `n

:07:34. > :07:40.thundery showers. Good evening, the rain in Rio is
:07:41. > :07:45.matching the mood, I suspect, this evening. Here, we will take a day
:07:46. > :07:50.off from the rain tomorrow, at least most of us. There will be sunshine
:07:51. > :07:56.around. The showers will be back for the end of the week. Dry over night
