Firstly happy birthday @MrLargo hope you've had a good one.
No comment from me today as I haven't yet been delayed. My train This morning got into Victoria 1 minute after it's scheduled arrival. That's the best it's been all year so I'll take it.
Currently waiting for my train to leave Victoria to get home. Let's wait and see if they can make it 2 in 2. I'll not hold my breath.
Train left on time. Currently roughly 4 mins late. But given today's chaos I'll take that
Remember being in one of those old trains. It was held on platform one (London Bridge) with the guard explaining that there was a briefcase on the train that couldn't be accounted for, therefore the train was to be emptied of passengers and placed out of service. Bloke jumps on and throws the case over the wall onto Tooley Street. "Can we fucking go home now" he asked. Passengers got back on and train departed. Problem solved.
Thanks for the birthday wishes folks, probably says a lot about me that I got nearly as many greetings on the South Eastern Trains thread as I got from my family and friends combined!
Sorry that they appear to have marked my birthday by having one of their shittest days of the year so far. I just hope that they at least allowed Rio Ferdinand to get home on time tonight.
Useless cretins, may you be plagued by hemorrhoids for the rest of your lives.
Free coffee being offered at Cannon Street this evening after the disaster of this morning. Like this mornings journey, I didn’t fancy being awake in case of another delay on the way home. Been late everyday this week and been late getting home. But it’s all worth it for the shiny new London Bridge eh......
Arseholes locked out a carriage this evening, and of course it was the one that stopped right where I was standing on the platform. So my slim chance of getting a seat turned into a zero chance.
Said it before and will say it many, many times more - CUNTS!!!!
Train from Cannon st to Orpington at 7 20 cancelled last night and broken down train at New cross this morning caused significant delay .That's Monday and Tuesday taken care of .Just got Wednesday , Thursday and Friday's chaos to look forward to .

Be fair though, at least they do their best to make sure there aren't any train delays on Saturdays and Sundays...........
........by cancelling all the trains and making everyone get on a bus.

And exactly the same thing happens again this morning.

I've had this before they've sent the same locked out carriage with the same broken window up and down the line for 4 days before bothering to take it out of service. It was another 3 working days before they replaced it with another carriage.
They still claimed the train had 12 coaches even though 1 was locked out. It must have been for some statistic.
It costs them nothing to lock a carriage out so they're in no rush to sort it out. They don't sell any fewer tickets, they don't have to pay any compensation. The only 'cost' is customer satisfaction, and we all know the number of fucks they give about that!
This is unreal. I think my train just arrived on time for the first time this year. 9.17 at Hither Green, 9.40 at Charing Cross. I'm almost speecheless with shock.
However, one swallow doesn't make a summer, and one on-time train doesn't make South Eastern not a bunch of wankers.
I didn't get a seat, the train was dirty, and it was far too expensive for an 8 mile journey, so lets not get the bunting out just yet.
Happy birthday @PaddyP17 , hope you have a cracking day not being on a train or waiting for a train!
Do you reckon SouthEastern are run by the guys trying to get the Silver Lady from Fort William to Inverness? I think SouthEastern could learn a few things here.

I think everyone can agree that this makes up for everything.
