    45 minutes to get from Lewisham to Charing Cross this morning, due to "congestion in the London Bridge area" for the 9,000th day on the spin. F%*king useless.

    Day 73 and still no sign of the footbridge at New Eltham. I'm sure if this had been entrusted to Captain Mainwaring and his merry band, we would be able to cross the line without walking halfway round New Eltham to do it by now. If I paid for my train travel I would complain vigorously.

    They're not building a footbridge, they're building a teleporter. By the time they've finished the work there the technology will have caught them up.

    They could use the 'temporary' footbridge they installed at Dartford whilst the new staff offices were being built. It's still in place six months after the old station entrance was re-opened!

    Good thought, Wilma. But the idea of going to Dartford just to cross the platform could be a problem, especially if you're running late.

    Signal failure at Greenwich earlier (around 1pm). My Woolwich train diverted via Lewisham & Bexleyheath. Best check during the afternoon anyone heading home that way.

    All trains on Greenwich line cancelled due to derailed train at Charlton.

    Thuram tried to catch the train to go back to France but realised he couldn't so punched it...?

    I think your ticket will be valid on the DLR if there is no option of getting a train.

    I used 2 vouchers off my season ticket renewal. That £2.30 makes all the difference and I now no longer feel like I've been ripped off.

    They were OK on the same day mate. There were only problems between Blackheath and Charlton. London to Charlton is fine and Dartford to Charlton is fine.

    Left my lunch box on the train from Eltham to Victoria this morning, I've alerted TFL and South Eastern railways to the matter, if there are any delays on the trains today I think it might be due to them searching for it, sorry in advance guys.

    If seen please alert a member of staff but do not approach it as the beef in there will be very warm and possibly smelly.


    ps its green
