First Capital Connect launch Twitter update (delay) service

Evening.

First Capital Connect have launched a new Twitter service where you can receive custom messages about your specific journey.

Here’s how it works – from the FCC website;

Send our Twitter account, FirstCC, a direct message listing your stations and times. The direct message should look something like this (using commas to separate stations and times, and stating times in 24-hour format):

kings cross, cambridge, 0800, 1800

We’ll receive your stations and times and store them in our database. Then, when major incidents occur on your route within an hour either side of your times, you’ll receive a direct message sent to your Twitter account straight away.

To sign up – head to the FCC Twitter page but make sure you are following the IhateThameslink page first!

This is also a great opportunity to vent your anger at FCC in 140 characters or less!
