    Like seriously what harm could it have done to just tell us there were major delays further down the line. Rather than just pretending everything was dandy when they knew we were just crawling (very)slowly into chaos.

    I hope Roland spends the rest of his days stuck on a southeastern rail service never getting any nearer to where he actually wants to be.

    A little bit of bad weather and the whole country grinds too a halt. They are years ahead in Germany. We need to take a leaf out their book.

    Jumped on the jubilee to North Greenwich where the Mrs is picking me up.

    Rain in England is stopping trains. You couldn't make it up.

    Hahaha nearly a massive brawl at Waterloo East. Someone tried getting on and was stopping the train from moving so a couple of blokes kicked him off. Everyone cheered.

    Hope you hit them back ;-)

    Canters, slow down mate. Your veins will be popping out of head if you carry on.

    Schlepped it to Victoria from cannon street. Soaked to the skin even with a big brolly. Seeing some of the tube station platforms being mopped on the way. Glad to get home and get the wet socks and shoes off after voting on he way home.

    Spending a few hundred million at least upgrading London Bridge yet they can't run a proper service after some rain. Sort the trains first.

    Must have had a blessed day today, rock up at westcombe park around 8 and looks a bit ropey, next train coming through a non-stopper and too many people in platform. Non-stopping train has virtually no people on it, and then, wonder of wonders it slows down and stops. The whole platform of people able to get on.


    Then this evening get to Cannon Street at around 5.45, shut. Walk to London Bridge admittedly in pissing down rain, shut. Just as about to think about dlr, they call for people to go through as a bexleyheath train just turned up, goes to blackheath so why not?

    Just as its about to leave, a quite full but enough space Greenwich line train rocks up, get on, get home earlier than normal.

    Having spent a day with a client in sunny (seriously) Leeds, I enjoyed a 2hr 15min journey back to Kings X with my colleague (Strongbow (me) & white wine (her)) going down nicely on an lovely air conditioned train!

    Back in the real world of London...had been warned Lon Br & Cannon St were shut, but was heading to Bank DLR anyway. One stop down & they announce Bank closed.

    Took until the 7th Jubilee train before I could get on. Got off at N Greenwich, not wanting to trust DLR working if Bank had been shut. Bloody hundreds waiting for buses. Walked to Pilot!

    Careful don't mention leaves on the track, could cause more chaos.
