Whoops, apologies to your toddler, I'm sure she would do a better job.Rizzo said:
Do you mind? I've got a toddler at home and that's incredibly insulting to her! More so due to the fact that she'd probably run a better 'service' than Southfeckingeastern!MrLargo said:Tossers. Thieving, lying, incompetent toddlers.
Maybe I've solved the mystery of why South Eastern is so crap - the whole network is being managed and controlled from the Early Learning Centre in Maidstone.7 -

Or client meetings.... It's been super bad now for the last three to four years. They were crap, but just not bloody awful. Thing ain't moved from Hither Green at all0

Why bother with anything as dramatic as a bomb scare? Just strategically position a single leaf on the track outside Grove Park and watch the entire system grind to a halt.cafcdave123 said:I'm off today as well, might call in a bomb scare at the three big London stations around home time and see how hairy this thread gets

Wankers... Have tucked me right up. still not in and my boss knows about my bet, I even left early this morn to make a point but I stink of booze and now ridiculously late, done me like a kipper7

Taken almost 2 hours to get to Bromley south from t wells. Nightmare, southeastern doing the classic "run all trains fast to final destination" which has royally fucked me up.0

Currently on a train rolling along and stopping at every set of lights between New Cross and London Bridge.
Apparently there's "congestion" up ahead. Who'd have thought that, eh? Other trains trying to get into London at this time of the day.

The congestion excuse annoys me the most because the other traffic is obviously mostly their own other trains. I mean, they know they're going to be there.Off_it said:Currently on a train rolling along and stopping at every set of lights between New Cross and London Bridge.

stuck in the congestion too. Must be a hard thing to manage considering it's the same sodding trains doing the same sodding journeys at the same sodding times every sodding day! To compound it I'm sitting next to some tart applying layer upon layer of face paint. Really annoys me when they do this. Do it at home before you come out. Like sitting next to a jack in the box. And she'll just look like a mongrel with face paintbon so what's the point?
As you can tell, I'm annoyed.11 -

Having recently started to commute back into London, after over 4 years working from home. It really is the commute that is stressful! I sit and do the same work every day (or lack of it) and the days im in the office I come home a nervous wreck!
EVERY DAY! the train leaves on time but arrives at cannon street late! how is that possible! I get a train that gets in 40 min's before I start work up near Liverpool street it is a 10-15 min walk MAX
It is actually impossible to be late! but there I am past 9am rocking up late most days!
And don't even start me on the going home! even three days in London is too many with this shit service!
£385 a month! It is daylight robbery! to put that in contex my mortgage is only £750 a month!2 -
I feel you pain I really do for having to put up with South Eastern but would just like to add how much I appreciate these posts.
As someone who quit working in London back in September and now drives to work in Orpington these posts make me realise how grateful I should be and if ever I start to miss working in London, the above is what I can expect!!1 - Sponsored links:

There is one upside to South Easterns incompetence. The days when I fancy a lay in or cba to get out of bed I can just ring the boss and say "trains are fucked I'll work from home today" and no one bothers to check!4

And this mornings thrilling instalment is a broken down train on the sidcup line which is causing a stack up with diverted trains on the bexleyheath line. Oh well, at least this morning im sitting next to a charming lady with war paint suitably applied before leaving home. And jolly nice she looks too.
I could make this a daily series if there is any appetite? A bit like @Cabbles (sorely missed) daily missives to his beloved Daisy. Need to think of a title. "the daily growler". "Great makeup mistakes of our time". Ho hum5 -
My Rant must have worked as I got into work 20 mins early today
I'm going to write in and complain now! I hate being early for work

Another thing why does this woman feel the need spray perfume all over herself after she has got on the train!? I mean seriously she fills the carriage with a cloud of the stuff every day.. half the carriage starts coughing and she doesn't even realise. It's like come on!! Maybe wait until you aren't in an enclosed space with loads of strangers..
Some of us have asthma!!4 -
