Fellow London commuters ( cannon St ) mmm well i can just guess what the trains will be like tonight and ooo watch the platforms as a few drops = adverse weather cant imagine what state they will say there in tonight. deadly !!!..ooo well if all up the spout see down in crypt !

Blackheath always gets closed in heavy rain, the missus uses Cannon St but she has a day off today

dartfordgent

always amazing ....and how we seem to get buggered with a few drops of rain or snow or bright sunlight....just think we use to keep things running when it was bombs coming out of the sky not just fat rain...and global warming TFFT or we would never get anywhere with a few snow flakes......then again least dont have to mow the lawn !!

I remember years & years ago when I used to commute from Kibrooke, heavy snow and it was the old slam door trains, about 30-40 of us packed into the guards carriage/mail carriage, happened many a time in those days

left early this morning so i could get a head start on my work, get to Barnehurst, all fecked up!! honestly a bit of rain and wind and we go to pieces, only good thing was when the train did arrive it had come straight from Dartford and was empty! im gussing it will be chaos at charring cross tonight, might get the boat to woolwich and get the 99 home.

I'm dreading Charing Cross/London Bridge tonight depending on which one I go to.

I used to get the boat from Greenwich during train strikes, pleasant way to get to work.

problems this morning were all caused by one train (i was on it). i broke down and took around an hour to decide that it ws kaput completely and could only move backwards.

Charlton Dan

7.47 Sidcup - Charing Cross. 18.37 / 19.02 back

AFKABartram

recently 06.50 in, 19.10 out (though i'm getting out a bit earlier tonight, hopefully)

nigel

Ha! Days like these make me glad I'm a semi-retired old codger for whom times like 06.36 and 06.50 no longer exist !

You lot do seem to work long hours. But then if you didn't spend half the day on Charlton Life you'd probably get your work done a lot quicker and get home a deal earlier !!!!

Looks like a late night tonight then...

thecrazyaddick

As much as I miss friends, family and Charlton at home. It's threads like this that remind me why I swapped the commute from Blackheath to London for a ten minute bike ride on a valley trail in Canada....

Though it's been pissing rain for about 5 days solid here now....
