  • There was an actual human shit bang in the middle of Charing Cross concourse this morning and it weren't even a meet the manager event.

    This is worrying as Mr Largo definitely said he was on the Cannon Street train.
  • Person hit by train at Welling, Bexleyheath line closed.
  • Another death on the line near Welling.....

    Mike, I would never risk making my fellow commuters' journeys even more appalling than they already are by leaving a turd in the middle of a public area.

    If I were to find myself in possession of a human stool whilst passing through a South Eastern Trains station, I would probably walk to the ticket office, go up to the window and ask for an Anytime Day Return from Cannon Street to Sevenoaks. The ticket bloke would then grunt, "that'll be £23.20. I would then reply by saying "that is an absolutely disgusting amount to charge. I'm therefore going to pay you in an absolutely disgusting way". Then I would stick it in that slidy box thing that goes from your side of the window to his.

    Either that or I'd just sling it in the face of one of their Revenue Protection Officers, the blokes that get all brave when there's 5 of them crowded round a little old lady who's mislaid her Senior Railcard but go into hiding when the trains are up the spout and they know that literally every commuter is thinking "If you f%$king dare you to query my ticket then I will strangle you with your own entrails".

    Can this thread be used in evidence against me if I do ever get round to slaughtering the South Eastern Senior Management Team?
    Go carefully Largs old son. Charlton Life has, we know, been the single biggest obstacle in our septuagenarian shit4brains's search for a dribbling fucktard to pay up the many mi££ions that CAFC is worth. Practically everything published on this site is gold-plated truth of the highest order, there's not a court in the land that won't use it as solid evidence of malice aforethought. Fortunately there also isn't a court in the land that wouldn't accept the wholesale extinction of TOC executives as a priority.
    As for the concourse shitter, he/she/it should be rounded up with the TOC trough feeders and rendered for tallow and bonemeal fertiliser.
  • disruptions expected until 4.30pm i know there has been a fatality but what is the reasoning for for closing the line for 3 and a half hours, i know it may seem insensitive but that seems a ridiculous amount of time.

  • Saw a programme about this a while ago and they can't move the body until an official, coroner maybe, declares that the person is dead, in this case the person had been decapitated but still had to wait for the official to arrive.
  • bexleyheath line now re-opened with delays and cancellations expected
  • Woolwich line up the spout for some unknown reason.

    UPDATE: Services currently being diverted away from Greenwich line while Network Rail attend problem at #WestcombePark. DLR are accepting Southeastern Tickets.
  • Bob Neill MP having a moan about Southeastern in Parliament yesterday:

    He spoke very well there, nailed the fact it’s a monopoly and that there is no competition in the franchise model.

    Didn't even have time to type 3....2....1 before @MrLargo piped up.
  • "Problems with the signals". It feels like only yesterday that I was waiting for a train that was delayed to to signalling problems. And indeed, it was yesterday, once in the morning and once in the evening. I f%$king hate you, you f%&king parasites.

    It would have been helpful to have Network Rail replacing the signals whilst they spent three years turning London Bridge station into a shopping centre. But that wouldn't bring in any extra revenue so obviously at the bottom of the To Do list.

  • My train from Cannon Street was delayed. Fortunately I was 2 minutes late and it was delayed by 3. I it’s so I got in and it set off. First luck for months.
  • disruptions expected until 4.30pm i know there has been a fatality but what is the reasoning for for closing the line for 3 and a half hours, i know it may seem insensitive but that seems a ridiculous amount of time.

    A few years ago I was travelling between Cologne and Dusseldorf on business when the train came to a sudden halt...The announcer said there was a fatality on the line and we would get going ASAP. I thought we would be stuck there for hours. Within 20 minutes we were moving. About 10 minutes later we passed an area where a body was covered in a blanket and local police and ambulance was in attendance.

    Their view is the traveller is the king.
  • Chuffing shit trains where’s the drunk thread
  • 3% rise from January on ticket prices. Fuck knows what they'd try charge if the trains ran on time.
  • faulty train at barnehurst causing delays - i know of no other customer focused industry that shows such lack of care for it users and customers - bastards of the highest order.
  • Customer focussed? Don’t know what gave you that idea.
  • South West Trains have a lot to answer to.

    I'm at Vauxhall waiting for the 13.28 to Dorking. There has been about 10 trains stop whilst I have waited for my one, and none of them have a toilet! A f****** disgrace.

    It would appear apart from the services going to the coast none of the trains carry a basic requirement.
