    Tossers. Thieving, lying, incompetent toddlers.

    Do you mind? I've got a toddler at home and that's incredibly insulting to her! More so due to the fact that she'd probably run a better 'service' than Southfeckingeastern!

    Whoops, apologies to your toddler, I'm sure she would do a better job.

    Maybe I've solved the mystery of why South Eastern is so crap - the whole network is being managed and controlled from the Early Learning Centre in Maidstone.
    It would certainly explain a lot!
  • Problems at new cross so at present south eastern trains are just "delayed". Chocolate firegaurd from south eastern again tossers.
  • Luckily got the day off.
  • Brendan, any update on the Bermondsey Dive Under?

  • Working from home today thank goodness
  • Delays delays delays.... ffs
  • Classic south eastern, trains screw up when I've got a deadline today. Twats
  • I'm off today as well, might call in a bomb scare at the three big London stations around home time and see how hairy this thread gets

  • Or client meetings.... It's been super bad now for the last three to four years. They were crap, but just not bloody awful. Thing ain't moved from Hither Green at all
  • Taken almost 2 hours to get to Bromley south from t wells. Nightmare, southeastern doing the classic "run all trains fast to final destination" which has royally fucked me up.

    Currently on a train rolling along and stopping at every set of lights between New Cross and London Bridge.

    Apparently there's "congestion" up ahead. Who'd have thought that, eh? Other trains trying to get into London at this time of the day.

    The congestion excuse annoys me the most because the other traffic is obviously mostly their own other trains. I mean, they know they're going to be there.

    Having recently started to commute back into London, after over 4 years working from home. It really is the commute that is stressful! I sit and do the same work every day (or lack of it) and the days im in the office I come home a nervous wreck!

    EVERY DAY! the train leaves on time but arrives at cannon street late! how is that possible! I get a train that gets in 40 min's before I start work up near Liverpool street it is a 10-15 min walk MAX

    It is actually impossible to be late! but there I am past 9am rocking up late most days!

    And don't even start me on the going home! even three days in London is too many with this shit service!

    £385 a month! It is daylight robbery! to put that in contex my mortgage is only £750 a month!
  • I feel you pain I really do for having to put up with South Eastern but would just like to add how much I appreciate these posts.

    As someone who quit working in London back in September and now drives to work in Orpington these posts make me realise how grateful I should be and if ever I start to miss working in London, the above is what I can expect!!

  • There is one upside to South Easterns incompetence. The days when I fancy a lay in or cba to get out of bed I can just ring the boss and say "trains are fucked I'll work from home today" and no one bothers to check!

    My Rant must have worked as I got into work 20 mins early today :)

    I'm going to write in and complain now! I hate being early for work :(
  • Another thing why does this woman feel the need spray perfume all over herself after she has got on the train!? I mean seriously she fills the carriage with a cloud of the stuff every day.. half the carriage starts coughing and she doesn't even realise. It's like come on!! Maybe wait until you aren't in an enclosed space with loads of strangers..

    Some of us have asthma!!

    I know it's crazy, the trains should work properly, no ifs, no buts, no excuses!

    Could be worse. Could have a fine to pay for invading the pitch.

    Next time she does it just calmly stand up give her a look to let her know that's you got up to move and toe punt her square in the cunt!
    Was sorely tempted today... will probably take the calmer option of having a word next time!
