    Was also common to find a grot mag under the seats in one of those carriages.

    Much happier times.

    Used to really enjoy cleaning those coaches out each evening....yuck

    There was the famous (true) story of the headless body in one of those single "doggy kennel" compartments, in the early 80's
    A chap gets on the train, and during the journey decided to look out of the window. He stayed there, looking out until the train arrived. He was looking out the opposite side to the platforms, so no one was concerned.
    When the train arrived in London, the station staff were walking along, closing open doors etc and saw him still standing there. They called him, but he didn't respond, so went into the coach and shook him, at which point his headless body fell back into the coach. Needless to say, the poor old platform man was rather shaken up. They did find his head, I believe it was a considerable way back, somewhere around the dartford area.
    Imagine if MrLargo was commuting in the 80's. Closing the line to look for a missing head would not have been on his list of acceptable reasons to cancel or delay trains.
    Used to use those old trains to get to school in the early/mid 90's. Delays and cancellations were welcomed back then, missed plenty of lessons due to general train crapness, although never heard the lost head excuse!

    RIP @cantersaddick

    Firstly happy birthday @MrLargo hope you've had a good one.

    No comment from me today as I haven't yet been delayed. My train This morning got into Victoria 1 minute after it's scheduled arrival. That's the best it's been all year so I'll take it.

    Currently waiting for my train to leave Victoria to get home. Let's wait and see if they can make it 2 in 2. I'll not hold my breath.

    Train left on time. Currently roughly 4 mins late. But given today's chaos I'll take that

  • Too good to be true. About 20 mins late.
  • Happy birthday MrLargo. My train home 10 minutes late BTW.
  • Happy Birthday mate
  • Free coffee being offered at Cannon Street this evening after the disaster of this morning. Like this mornings journey, I didn’t fancy being awake in case of another delay on the way home. Been late everyday this week and been late getting home. But it’s all worth it for the shiny new London Bridge eh......
  • Free coffee!

    I think everyone can agree that this makes up for everything.

    Bravo Southeastern.
  • Arseholes locked out a carriage this evening, and of course it was the one that stopped right where I was standing on the platform. So my slim chance of getting a seat turned into a zero chance.

    Said it before and will say it many, many times more - CUNTS!!!!

    Be fair though, at least they do their best to make sure there aren't any train delays on Saturdays and Sundays...........



    ........by cancelling all the trains and making everyone get on a bus.

    Utter, utter c#+ts.
  • Where was the free coffee?!
  • Amazingly, train from Sidcup to CX was on time this morning..... give someone an OBE.

    Wait a sec, the train before was cancelled.... take it away.

    How’s your luck you useless ******s!

    I've had this before they've sent the same locked out carriage with the same broken window up and down the line for 4 days before bothering to take it out of service. It was another 3 working days before they replaced it with another carriage.

    They still claimed the train had 12 coaches even though 1 was locked out. It must have been for some statistic.
  • It costs them nothing to lock a carriage out so they're in no rush to sort it out. They don't sell any fewer tickets, they don't have to pay any compensation. The only 'cost' is customer satisfaction, and we all know the number of fucks they give about that!
