The 7.26 Shepherds Well to Dover Priory was fine this morning. Window seat, facing front with table, and it arrived on time.
Haven't been to Shepherds Well for years. Pal's family had a big house across the green from The Bell Inn. Had some great times down there. Is The Bell still there @man_at_milletts?

Good old days, still pass through there when going to the brother in laws.

Yes it is. It's just been taken over by new management and apparently it's pretty good. Lovely place, we've only been here a month but so far it's been really welcoming.
And of course, the East Kent Railway is just nearby too ;-)
Signal failure somewhere tonight. The one time I thought. That's not my line. It can't effect me. Hahaha nope. They add 4 stops to my train. Not only will this take longer but there are now double the amount of people on the train as theirs has been cancelled.

There's an immense sadness and inevitability on this thread as we witness poor canter's youthful optimism, innocence and spirit take a daily thrashing at the hands of these bastards.
6 more months of this and you'll be a cynical, jaded and prematurely- aged misery like the rest of us.

Come on Canters, you know better than that. If the Trans-Siberian Express broke down tonight on the outskirts of Ulan Bator, you can guarantee that you'd arrive at Canterbury West Station in the morning to find that "services into London are currently subject to delay and short notice cancellation. This is due to an earlier failed train."

Geese on the line at Kearsney, apparently. All rounded up now. Get the oven on!
Cant wait for my new role to start... Although I'll still be based in Orpington the first month will see me travelling into London to do training - Of course that first month has to be December so no doubt will be making an eager proper return to this thread!!

Yeah I remember an earlier post warning of this - thanks for the remind though
Thankfully I've managed to agree to work from Orpington between Christmas and New Year so wont have to worry
Still not in... at least I'll get £3.40 back through delay repay. Yay
I remember I had one week where there was a freight train splayed across the tracks at Lewisham, and it took five days to clear it. I get on at Lee or Hither Green, so this effectively meant no trains for a week.
Through liberal claims on delay repay, I got back something like £68 on five days' worth of travel, when I use a monthly zone 1-3 travelcard. That ain't too bad to be fair.

Took me 4 and a half hours to get home once and I got £7.40 back from my £4000 annual season ticket

Edit, the Bricklayers has closed for good.

It seems that you slag off Southeastern for not doing their jobs properly, and yet......
