It'll get extended, again, before eventually giving it to Govia, again.
What I would give to be locked in a room for a couple of hours with Chris Grayling, Roland Duchatelet, a hot bath and a selection of Morphy Richards toasters.

Yeaaaa... Meeting friends at North Greenwich for a few drinks, film and laugh before the game today as they've not been to see Charlton for a good few years now (Me being married / kid just makes it harder for us to meet up and have a casual day like today)
Plan was to get the High Speed from Strood to Stratford and then tube down yet of course SouthEastern / Network Rail cant allow that can they
Goddamn signalling issues @ Gillingham have f**ked up the whole area down this way so going to have to piss about getting to Ebbsfleet and hope I can get the train from there
Just know this means that the Football isnt going to end well either today!!
Who knows what the delay is today between New Cross and London Bridge as the driver ain’t saying sh*t. I pity the poor folks who have to get this service in everyday as it’s more late than on time whenever I use it.
I dont know why i do it. On the odd occasion i decide to get on the southeastern as i find the seats a bit more comfier than the DLR's... until I'm then sat outside London Bridge and regret it.
- A grunt from one of their staff at Lewisham when I said excuse me to him.
Blimey, I might have to start commuting again..................
I'd need a frontal rubdown every morning from a troupe of Brazilian strippers to make me actually look forward to getting on one of their decrepit mobile misery crates.
4 months left til I get to ditch the thieving scum in favour of the decadent luxury of the DLR.

Can't wait to hear about the elbowing and fighting that goes on just to get the front seat ;-)
At Beckenham Junction yesterday and the train was late due to landslip. Train arrived but only stopped at Herne Hill and Victoria instead of all stations.
They used this excuse a couple of weeks ago. The only landslip I could find on their website was the one at Wadhurst but my trains start at Orpington or Bromley South.
Not Southeastern for a change, but a chance to give GWR their time in the spotlight...
Arrive at Slough station ('come friendly bombs...') at 5:30 on a Tuesday evening on my way to the Burton game, everything is "delayed" but no idea by how long. Southeastern have taught me this much, that is not a good sign...
Electrical failure between Reading - Paddington apparently, bad times, but my train is making some progress. At Reading it develops a 'fault', brilliant. Sits there for 30 minutes, I assume they've given up performing CPR on it at this point so will go for the next fast one as it's now approaching Reading as well.
Then comes the tannoy announcement: "We're sorry, the 18-something service to London Paddington is delayed due to a faulty train ahead of it" (or words to that effect). Fuuuu.... ok then. Ended up going to Windsor and catching a SW train to get around it.
Well, at least I can claim delay repay as I'm >1.5 hours late you'd think... but no, the claim was rejected due to "extreme" weather so the delay isn't in their control. So I send them a screenshot of the weather in Slough at that time - 6 degrees centigrade, 14mph winds and overcast, quite naturally questioning their definition of "extreme". They said that the wind caused the electrical failure... no mention of the unrelated faulty train and told that the case is closed, asking for my (expletive-ridden) feedback.
Subsequently I missed Taylor's pen and all of the 15minutes of actual football we played that game, although I did arrive just in time for their goal and deterioration in quality of the football - fortifying the belief of those around me's that I am in fact The Curse out of us.
That's a disgrace. I'd go back to them again and copy your MP in (and tell GWR that you've done so). If you can be bothered to make a nuisance of yourself you'll get that back easily.
Send it to that useless c*%t Grayling as well, see if he agrees with their definition extreme weather (bear in mind he'll probably have to get one of his staff to read any long words to him, so try and use shorter alternatives to "incompetent", "pathetic", "disgraceful", "f*!kwittery" and "slapheadtosser").

That is all, brought to you exclusively live from a stationary positron halfway between new cross and London Bridge.
Useless shower of shite.
Don't believe you.
By the time I get home later I'll have done nearly 5 hours commuting.
So far this week I've been given (by SE staff):
- A costa voucher
- A bottle of water
- A small packet of mints
- A grunt from one of their staff at Lewisham when I said excuse me to him.
- A loud whistle in the ear from 1 foot away
I think you meant to post this on the "Birds from The Millers" thread mate.

Are they bullshitting everyone?
