I am not a betting man and I don't even commute but what are the odds on all trains into Hertford East that night being delayed by 45mins and all the people who might want to have met with the managers are still standing in Liverpool Street.

How on earth can train companies organise these sort of consultation exercises at these times with a straight face!? In order for commuters (presumably the focus of the consultation exercise) to be able to air their views before the end time of 18:30, the last train they can get at Liverpool Street is the 17:24!

I am never usually home by the time their meetings start.. Why oh why not start it at 8.00 pm!!!! And I agree with Kate, the trains will be delayed, cancelled or on a go-slow that night without fail.. they are truly useless!

The timing gives you the feeling that they don't really want to meet their customers but they thought they ought to do something.

Did they advertise the fact that late trains from liverpool street (23.30)would be a bus from Enfield does anyone know? Got caught out by this last night not having seen anything about it before. I'm planning to try and meet the managers though depends what time i can get away from here.

There's a bus replacement timetable by the platform but nothing on the "Special Notices" board. I spoke to one of the "helpful" railway staff who seemed to be unconcerned about this oversight.

Will they be PR managers or people who actually have a responsible job turning up I wonder.

They're operational managers

Yes, quite useless times, I'm not even back in Hertford until 19.15. I'd really love to know why there were no notices regarding these engineering works at HE last Thursday night when I had to pick up a friend from Stansted. The 'replacement' bus service from Stansted only went directly to London, missing Broxbourne compelely, so I was forced to pay for a bus to Bishops Stortford then a £38 taxi back to Hertford, which I would be asking these so-called operational managers to reimburse me for.

Did anybody meet the managers? Little Fandango was ill so couldn't get to berate them. Anyone else get the chance?
