Normally the blocking page gives you a link to write to as this is often contracted out. I believe most of these filtering services try to respond to reasonable unblocking requests.
East Midland trains are fine for Wikimedia projects but block Wikipediocracy (hurrah). I'll not be bothering to write to them about unblocking Wikipediocracy and though they also block Grindr, I think most lads use their mobile data for socializing.

For some time, Chiltern Trains free Wi-Fi has been blocking Wikimedia Commons, as:
This site was categorized in: Photo Sharing, File Storage, Software/Technology, Research/ Reference, Non-Profits, Visual Search Engines
Wikipedia, including its commons-hosted images, is not blocked. I have reached out to them more than once on Twitter to ask for an unblock, or who to speak to about requesting one, but they have never replied.
Apart from e-mailing them ,which I shall do shortly, what other action might we take, as a community? Do any of you have contacts in the organisation?
