The driver just pipped up with “crackle very slowly crackle “1

A fault with the signalling system between London Cannon Street and London Bridge is causing disruption between these stations. Trains may be cancelled, delayed or revised.
Disruption is expected until 16:00.
16:00 my arse!! If my train is running on time tonight I'll be stunned!

"UPDATE #CannonStreet: The signalling is now stable, but staff will remain on site and monitor for a while. Some trains will be altered or cancelled at short notice while we try and restore service to normal"
Restore service to normal - I thought short notice alterations and cancellations was normal service!2 -
This tropical heat will get the blame.2

Six days without a post on this thread?! What? Southeastern have been crap as usual this week - where's the ranting?
However, getting back £53.40 in Delay Repay soon (via BACS, so apparently it'll take up to 14 days, which is grim). That is at least a bit of compensation for how shit their service is.0 -
That's something that pisses me off, the money leaves my account pretty sharpish. Why, in the golden age of telephony and high speed latency are we waiting up to 2 weeks to receive refundsPaddyP17 said:Six days without a post on this thread?! What?

Train arrived at London Bridge 4 minutes early this morning.
Probably some commuters LB to Cannon Street fuming as the train left the platform just as they arrived.0 -
Thameslink cancelled my train last night as the driver was having a day off to enjoy the sunshine. I had to get a Southeastern train from London Bridge instead. It was hot and completely over-crowded, but a lovely gentleman offered me his seat. Equality and feminism went out of the window and I accepted and sat down :-)5

Just got £62 in compensation for the week without trains. Not sure what the hourly rate would be for the additional time it took to get in and out of work...

Signalling problems on Sidcup line. Currrently taken 40 minutes fro Lewisham to Sidcup and stuck outside station. Good luck later0

Current issues from Twitter:
Signal problem at New Eltham (SE Railway tweet)
Disruptive passengers between Slade Green & Dartford (SE Railway tweet)
Person hit by a train between Rainham & London Bridge (Thameslink tweet)
So all three lines to Dartford have problems. Good luck getting home!
Also, SE Railway having issues with their Twitter account.

The disruptive passengers were Duchatelet and his pals. Apparently they have been on a 24hr bender around SE London2

Thank you for claiming Delay Repay compensation for your journey during the week beginning 11 February. We know it was a difficult week for our Bexleyheath line passengers. To recognise this, we doubled your compensation amount for any claim you made on this line of route between Monday 11 and Friday 15 February. During that week services along your line were suspended due to a landslip between Barnehurst and Bexleyheath, which saw over 300 tonnes of debris and trees falling on to the railway. We know it’s frustrating when we have to close parts of the railway. Network Rail worked as quickly as possible to re-open the line but unfortunately the scale of the work involved meant that the line had to be closed for the entire week. Thank you for bearing with us. View online anyone else just had this email from SE Railway?

So I just rang their helpline and poor old Alex, bless him, has been had a go at non-stop.
No wonder he sounds bewildered, though, as he's based in the bloody East Midlands, and has precisely zero idea as to what hell we endure commuting in London every day.
I want my doubled Delay Repay and I want an email confirming all of this. Not too much to ask, given @Elthamaddick your email arrived unprompted.
Apparently my claims all went through as delays of 60-119 minutes rather than 2hrs+, because of technical difficulties, hence confusion.
They really do keep an iron grip on your money this lot. Muppets.
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH.1 -
Thanks God for the signalling problems at Cannon St tonight...........stops this bad boy languishing on P30

All is forgiven. SE were handing out pre packed pancakes at our station yesterday, quite tasty actually.
