00:00Nobody seems to really know what's going on half of the stuff is saying that it's cancelled all day
00:03But the other half is saying maybe
00:05Maybe if you rebook, so we've rebooked for eight, but now they're saying that's cancelled
00:09So we don't really know what's going on. No communications awful
00:11We talked to one person and they say it's completely cancelled talk to another and say that they're back on
00:16But then they're also saying to go to their help desk
00:19But the queue is over two hours long and by the time you get to the front of the help desk all the flights are
00:23Cancelled or all the trains for tomorrow are completely gone. So it's just kind of no hope in there. We got here at 7 a.m
00:29And as soon as we got here, it said that the trains were cancelled
00:34Oh, yeah, so an hour later then that's when they
00:38Said that was cancelled. The communication was not great at all
00:40We got here and if we were told earlier as well that we had get an alternative as soon as we got here
00:46We would have booked an alternative, but we weren't made aware

01:10But yeah, we're having breakfast and then they start announcing that everything was cancelled. There's no information
01:15I mean on the website, it's showing the 1031 was running you get here and it's all cancelled
01:20It's that's it. And they just said that's it
