Not sure why I received this, but got an invite to 'quiz' SE boss about rail services at a public meeting......Thursday at Sidcup.........by the local MP. I assume anyone can go?.......( If I have been invited) I however will not be going as I am up in London, as I have been let out for the day, and going to the west end for a jolly up. Only been to London twice this year by train, so hardly have an up to date working knowledge of this, but if the postings on here are anything to go by, it could be a lively evening........
Mr Largo should be the Charlton life representative
Not my constituency, although I'd be delighted to turn up and give Mr Statham the hiding of his life have a reasoned debate with Mr Statham. I've always intended to go to one of South Eastern's "Meet the Managers" events that they hold at the major London stations on a weekday morning every once in a while but, as I'm usually late for work as a result of congestion in the London Bridge area, I tend to have to make do with screaming four-letter words at them as I'm sprinting past on my way to the office.
The meeting is in Sidcup, at 6.30pm tomorrow, and South Eastern's offices are on Blackfriars Road. If Mr Statham is travelling to the meeting by train then I hope he knows he needs to set off soon in order to make it on time.
If I get my hands on the idiot who thought it would be clever to run on the track at Greenwich and completely fuck up the whole system I'll kill him!! Good luck everyone!!!!!!
My wife was due to get a train at 5.45 from Cannon Street. She's still there waiting for a Sidcup line train and says that she will probably be killed in the crush when one comes.
I've told her to stay strong and not to worry about the dinner being ruined as I have turned the oven down or that the four times death in service will be insufficient to keep me in the manner to which I have become accustomed.
The new weatherspoons at Cannon Street is a little goldmine. They must be one of the very few companies/ people that are hoping that South Useless get their contract extended.
My train got into London bridge for Slade green via Greenwich 20 minutes late. I then get on an absolutely packed train. This then is stationery for 20 minutes. People getting off the whole time because they can't take the heat. All of a sudden hear the train is ready to depart only for the driver to say the train is diverted and no longer going via Greenwich.
I am not kidding when I tell you that if I could, and would get away with it I would tear the trespasser into pieces.
When there's a trespasser on the line rather than running no trains they should run 10 times as many down the track to try and kill the bugger.
Also 0/10 to southeastern for how they handled it. Awful.
Gutted to already be on a train when it all kicked off. Not only was I then stuck in a sweat box for 75 minutes, I could have got a decent little drinking crew together between 5.30 and 6 at Cannon St !
I think I would've got off Afka if I had known how badly it was going to go. But I really wanted to visit my cousin in hospital tonight.
Think you were on same one as me Huskaris. Fair play for managing to get on at LB.
So I missed the visiting and ended up going food shopping! Would kick him up the arse too for wrecking so many people's nights and making the journey home absolutely awful.

Next time they're f****d, give me a shout and I'll jump on the DLR to bank. Takes me further from home but what the hell.

I was on the "17.32". I had already noticed where the train doors were opening and positioned myself there. The heat on that train was insane.
Yep that was the one I was on. People screaming move down when there was nowhere to go. I was alright jack in my seat. Felt sorry for all you standers.

You should have really peed them off and asked to close the window because you were cold.

We had a pregnant woman force her way on after everyone else, then start shouting about making her way to get a seat *cue 3 or 4 women screaming "GET THIS PREGNANT WOMAN A SEAT" at all men sitting down within a 10 carriage radius. Having forced her way through everyone to get to the seats she then after 2 minutes decided it's too hot and gets off.
Had another girl on a phone call for about 40 minutes telling her friend on the line that she had a modelling deal lined up from someone she met at the gym (5/10 girl) when her phone packed in when we went through a tunnel I actually turned and went "oh dear!" to her.

And CL could've been terrorised....we all lost in this situation
Sounds like my mum and brother are flying the flag though @Cabbles, so reassured to know the family are at least being represented in these important midweek drinking dramas
Trespasser at Greenwich ? So how come the trains were still fucked at 10.30pm ? Trains delayed & cancelled still & I got the 9.30 train from Falconwood at 10.30 !!!!!!
All this will be a thing of the past once the dive under comes into play. You'll be winging your way to London Bridge in your air conditioned carriages, and the overcrowding at Cannon Street will be a dim and distant memory :-)

Not for the plebs on the Sidcup line it wont. The Crossrail will be no use to them.

(If that's what you mean by the dive under).
Nah, not Crossrail, we don't want none of that nonsense on the Sidcup line. Brendan will explain the 'dive under'.

Kind regards.
Luckily a false alarm but still chaos and alarms.

Transport inflates my fury levels by about 1000%
