Page 5? Really?I had to stand on way in on the 6.20 from new eltham which then had a passenger taken ill at London Bridge so had to cross platform to get in, and the 5.41 from Charing Cross home was standing room only from the off.No other woes or is everyone else still trying to connect to the southeastern WiFi in the London Bridge area unable to update this thread?1

I got a Cannon Street service this evening that had two extra carriages. It was packed full on leaving CS and delayed but that is the norm!0

Well, look on the bright side - 7 years from now (make that 15 if Crossrail's anything to go by), you'll be able to travel from London to Manchester on HS2 in less time than it takes South Eastern you get you from Lewisham to London Bridge. Makes you proud to be English.14

Bexleyheath line shut all of this week isn’t it? I’ve tried to organise my meetings all out of London0
-
In fairness to them they have given lots of warning that the bexleyheath line would be shutting1
-
Not read previous 183 pages but on a day when it has been known for a week there will be a 25k crowd at the Valley, the incompetents put on 8 carriage trains. With at least 20 minutes between London bound.0

Currently on a train at Charlton, apparently someone has fallen under the train.0

Just been kicked off of an abbey wood bound train at Farringdon before we even pulled out because there is a rock on the line
fucking cunts0 -
No, somebody has gone under a train. Some poor person has possibly reached such a state in their life that they have decided to end it. Not Network Rail or South Eastern fault but some on here wil no doubt blame them. Get a grip0

well that’s not what the driver announced on the train they were kicking us off of0

Probably didn't want to upset any customers fragile sensibilities. Also, in my youth this was known as the Rock Island Line!!0

He was drunk and fell down the gap, cut head, hopefully knocked some sense into him!1

Careful Graham, two posts on the spin where you've sounded like you might actually be "Graham from the ticket office at Bromley South", rather than just "Graham from Bromley".Bromley Graham said:Probably didn't want to upset any customers fragile sensibilities.
The potential punishment for an outed double agent would not be pretty - not many people can cope with a day of repeatedly travelling up and down the Sidcup line at their own expense whilst the Autumn Leaf Fall Timetable is in effect.14 - Sponsored links:

As i have a freedom pass I'll take a thermos and some sandwiches (prawn), and have a nice day out in the warm and dry at no cost. Mind you I'll have to catch a 269 bus to Sidcup. Bugger.0

You've given yourself away there Graham, undoubtedly on the payroll of South Eastern in some capacity.Bromley Graham said:As i have a freedom pass I'll take a thermos and some sandwiches (prawn), and have a nice day out in the warm and dry at no cost. Mind you I'll have to catch a 269 bus to Sidcup. Bugger.
Firstly, the consumption of marine produce on the train is one of the most provocative, passive aggressive statements that one commuter can make to another.
Secondly, any genuine South Eastern passenger would know that consuming the contents of a thermos flask when you're likely to be on board for more than an hour is tantamount to self-harming, as the on-board khazis will inevitably be out of order, and your thermos flask will therefore need to serve the purpose of a receptacle as well as a dispenser.21 -
Well, as i cannot use my freedom pass till after 9.30 on a train ,although ok on a 269 bus, i wil have missed all the commuters who will be sat outside Lewisham or Hither Green due to points and or signal failure. Also, as an ex british rail commuter i invested in a 'truck drivers friend ' many years ago which has served me well over time. You will easily see me at London Bridge ,walking like the Billy Connolly character with the boots filled with urine.2

Train in a complete mess due to trespass incident at Hither Green.0

Trespassing on the line messed my trains up apparently.
I would bring back the death penalty. But only for people who slow down my journey home.4 -
Impressive stuff again today. Bexleyheath line closes so rather than run extra trains down the Greenwich line during the day.....
Yes that’s right they decide to run less.0 -
Been a dream getting train from Westcombe Park this week.0
-
I am glad it’s not just me thinking that. They can get plenty of practice trespassing on my land with a 5 minute headstart prior to me unleashing the hounds...Huskaris said:Trespassing on the line messed my trains up apparently.
