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!!
no trains into London Bridge, Waterloo East, Charing Cross and Cannon Street from 24 December to 02 January.
Annual Season Tickets are the best value option – the cost is the same as 40 weekly Season Tickets, so you’ll get 12 weeks of travel for free – plus lots of extra benefits.
12 weeks free of travel? Except that in August it was Thameslink stuff for a week, "please stay at home, move house, get a new job, just don't get on our trains" and it's the same again for 9 days over Christmas and New Year - "make sure you've got a plan B, because we're hardly running any trains and the ones we are running won't be going where you want them to go and will inevitably be late, cancelled and unfit for habitation by anyone higher up the evolutionary scale than a cockroach."
You thieving shits. If I wasn't conscious of how under-resourced the police are then I'd be reporting these feckless guttersnipes for fraud, theft and misrepresentation.
One of these days I'm gonna eat five chicken vindaloos, storm their CEO's office, lock the door, strip off and wait for nature to take its course.

And what happens when you try and get a refund on your season ticket when you dont need it anymore? South Eastern claim you get the first 12 weeks of travel free so no refunds.
Don't get me started on the #SEhiddengems hash tag that they've been pushing for the last 18 months. In protest, every tweet or facebook post has used the same hashtag with the picture of an empty platform when the train doesnt turn up!

Didn't know about that, unbelievable. Honestly, I wish I had the time available to just dedicate myself full time to complaining to South Eastern, the DfT, the Prime Minister, the European Commission and the Court of Human Rights. These people are a f*#king disgrace, and the fact that they're allowed to continue in this manner is also a f%#king disgrace.

really? I thought on an annual you get a pro-rata refund of any whole months left on the ticket.

According to the staff at Barnehurst, this mornings delays were down to a broken down train in the Lewisham Area, according to the train driver it was due to adverse weather conditions "imagine trying to drive your car on a frozen lake covered in washing up liquid and that's what we have to try and do with a train "

Fuck off mate.
Christ... Where on the route into London do they cross over a lake and have to worry about the ice cracking?

My bike is broke (again), so had to get the train this morning.
- Train was delayed because the train in front had an issue. - Train in front eventually pulled up at the platform and kicks off all the passengers. - After a period of time driver comes down the platform shutting all doors individually (I guess to make sure everyone was off the train). - Train eventually leaves. - My train turns up. - My train decides to Terminate at London Bridge.
In short, try to avoid getting a train until my bike is fixed as I seem to have shit luck with life.
Tonight there is a problem with lineside equipment. Got that one on your list Mr Largo? New one for me.
Wow! No, wasn't on my list, they must have only just thought of that one, the crafty tossers.
Very ambiguous, and during the many months I've spent sitting stationary somewhere in South London due to congestion in the London Bridge area, I don't recall ever looking through the window and seeing anything that I would describe as "lineside equipment".
Guessing one of their train drivers has spotted a broken lawnmower in one of the gardens that backs onto the line just outside Hither Green - "better safe than sorry lads, if that thing explodes it could take out everything within a two foot radius. Cancel everything and put the kettle on, you can't be too careful."
Just when I thought retirement had ridden me of hordes of Chinese students clogging the trains up at New Eltham, when they descend on Dover Priory at 10am this morning all trying to tap out with Oyster Cards.
It was hilarious, bit like a scene from a Benny Hill sketch with the station staff trying to gain order.
Funny that. My train is absolutely boiling today. Like a sauna.
I reckon that because the heating isn't working in yours they've turned it up on all other trains to ensure the average temperature across all trains isn't affected!
