Didn't you carry on walking to the station? Whenever I tell people on my way back from the station, they just say "thanks mate" and carry on towards the station.AFKABartram said:Left my house, woman walked past and said 'there's no trains', went back in house, done myself egg on toast.
Where's my compensation form ?0 -
I did once have a very heavy night and ended up leaving my local station at a time when I would normally be entering it and did say "There's no trains" as I wandered out. Not sure anyone believed me thoughDaveMehmet said:

This. Did feel for one poor young lad (school boy) who clearly wanted Hither Green only the driver failed to mention the train was running fast from Grove Park to London Bridge until after he'd pulled out.WoodsideValley said:Got the 7.51 from Sidcup, finally got off at London bridge at 10am...
Got into Charing Cross at 10.06

It wasn't fun. Made even worse by the fact that five minutes before the train stopped I got up to let a preggers woman sit down - so i had to stand all the way!!Red Riding Hoodie said:

Well done mate, fair play to you. Hate it when blokes ignore pregnant woman on the train.WoodsideValley said:

Saw what I thought was one the other day but wasn't sure so hesitated. Then realised she was stood next to her (seated) mate having a chat and figured if she was pregnant and her own mate won't give up her seat then damned if I was going to. Turns out she was just fat anyway!Brendan_O_Connell said:

Bumping an old thread but after this mornings carnage Southeastern are still saying there are delays and dont expect services to be running properly till 6pm. Which will probably mean later - can use your card on bus/tube etc.0

They delayed/cancelled the 7.59 this morning (not sure which as they didn't make any announcements) so had to get the 8.14, which got into London Bridge at 9.21. Absolutely rammed and really hot too. Lovely way to start the day!0

@LargeAddick you should check the southeastern twitter as it lokos like a lot of the Kent coast bound trains are starting at Blackfriars.0

stood on a train for an hour this morning that didn't move, don't fancy that again on the way home!0

An hour late into work today, joke service at extortionate prices.0
-
Just seen that my normal train will be 5 coaches today, instead of 10. So the return journey promises to be just as much fun as the journey in!0

It's better than Northern Rail, that's for sureJ BLOCK said:An hour late into work today, joke service at extortionate prices.

Just gone through London Bridge and they are still in a mess.0

What's the % price rise going to be this new year?0
-
Still loads of disruption...i think this time the problems are because of network rail rather than southeastern0

from tWitter:
So far today #southeastern attempted to run 1135 trains. Only 497 were on time (<5m). 638 were late & 377 cancelled... ouch!0 -
Got on the 16:51 at Charing Cross on time, just pulling into Bexleyheath now.0

So what's the problem today ?0

Had an email from southeastern just before heading home. They expect issue (over running engineering works at New Cross closing 3 of 6 lines) to remain for tomorrow morning too. Great ..0

Working in Canary Wharf has its advantages, one stop on the Jubilee line, lovely!
I do not miss trains one little bit, I had 25 years of them and it defiantly got worse over the years.0 -
Thanks for thinking of me B. Missed your post as I was at a BOE seminar this arvo. However Hastings line was running from Ldn Brdge albeit late.Curb_It said:@LargeAddick you should check the southeastern twitter as it lokos like a lot of the Kent coast bound trains are starting at Blackfriars.

Southeastern is the most poor train service I come accross. They are never clean, the air conditioning is bad, the toilets never get maintained, the customer service is bad and they do small carriages when it's rush hour time which mean commuters can't sit down. Yet the price constantly increases and I have no idea why apart from greed.
I sent them a tweet complaining about the lack of carridges during rush hour and their reply was:
Sorry for this, we would always run a service short formed as opposed to cancelling a train if stock is unavailable.
So they expect us to appreciate they are still running rather than cancelling it? Ridiculous!
Might be worth following @IncompetentSE on twitter lol0 -
So would you rather they cancel it and make you later?0
-
Nathan, you cannot get on the shorter train as it is packed so it makes no differenceNathanPrior said:So would you rather they cancel it and make you later?

But if they cancel it, there would be more people to try and fit on the next one. If you can't get more rolling stock from where it's based (Hither Green depot for some) up to London then there's not a lot you can docafc999 said:

Nathan, yesterday at London bridge I watched several empty trains pass through the station without stopping. When they put a short train out during major disruption it is more of a insult to the commuter than a cancelled one as you are left standing on the platform unable to get on.
Have you ever experienced this sort of disruption before while on your way home from work Nathan?0
