....."Apologies for the late running to this service. This was due to the train being late in from London along the Sidcup line where conditions were treacherous!"
It may have something to do with the theft of the footbridge at New Eltham station. Very difficult to get from Platform 1 to 2 now. I see the blokes in orange are now removing the dirt and loading it into a lorry, there'll be no station left soon.

Probably for the best M_a_M. That way, us posh folk that live in Bexley and Sidcup can get to our destinations a little quicker!! ;o)

Mock as you may Mr BoC, but come the revolution, we'll all know who the flushed the lavvy as the train went through New Eltham station.
Made 2 claims this week already. Sadly the other 2 days weren't quite up to the magic 30 minutes. As if a 29 minute delay on a 33 minute journey is in any way acceptable!!
Bad enough for people travelling into London during the rush hour, but you should see how people who have the misfortune to work in a place where they have to travel AWAY from a London terminus get treated. Years ago I used to work in Catford, and lived in Deptford. Caught the Catford Bridge train from New Cross - at least three times a week (and that's a conservative estimate - sometimes it was literally every day in a week) the train was delayed, delayed, delayed then announced as cancelled - and you'd see it go sailing past outside on the fast line. Fuckers.
Yep my missus works in Sevenoaks, so has to get either a train from Barnehurst to London Bridge, then back out to Sevenoaks or the cheapo way of Barnehurst - Lewisham - Orpington - Sevenoaks. Her trains are always delayed.
Thank f**k she's got her driving exam at the end of November.
Have been back on the trains since Monday now and there have been delays / problems every evening getting back to Bexleyheath... What the fucks been going on or is this SE's ploy where they can turn round and say "this is why we have to charge more for fares" come January
To be fair to SE alot of the problems are network rails fault (in my experience anyway). Signal failure, electricty supply and points failures.
I pay Southeastern for my ticket - it is their job not their victims (sorry passengers, customers, mugs or whatever the current euphemism they use) to manage their sub-contractors (ie Network Rail) not to make excuses for them, in theory they should know how to do this.

Welcome back.
I've claimed for Monday. Will wait and see if it goes anywhere though!

Still their parent company is seeing huge growth on its year on year profits - so it's not all bad.
Gas canisters can take 24hrs to cool, so don't be surprised if there are still problems in the morning.

I'm already sitting in it pal!
The fire should have been on the Woolwich or Bexleyheath line!
Do they not know how important we are??!!??
