  • We normally get on Greenwich line. Yesterday bus to Northgreenwich. Home via Boat. Today using DLR (after nice walk through park) to bank. At least we have lots of options and the weather is good no thanks to SE
  • I do love how they advise to 'travel after 0930'. Yes I'm sure London will appreciate its workforce starting at 1100. Fuck it, give everyone half day.

    It's laughable mate, they haven't got a clue.
  • It's always good when the SE boys get into work late and sweating whereas those from Essex get air conditioned trains that run like clockwork.
  • It is for one week only snd they have been advising for months this would happen. I'm sure no one would hsve thought it would go any other way than crap so I'm not surprised.

  • Just one more day. Then cannon street re opens on Fri. Then it will all run like clockwork........
  • at least for 18 months the Cannon St trains won't stop at LB so should be emptier and slightly quicker

    (he says laughing)

    it'll be busier than the Charring cross trains were when not stopping at LDN bridge as people can still walk over the bridge which wasnt the case if getting off a waterloo east

  • Oh.FFS!!! Got the 0815 dartford to Charing Cross on the Greenwich line for a change. Pleasantly quiet. Pace to Blackheath could most creditably be described as "meandering". Lino to lewisham and now diverted to Victoria, arrival time Unknown. This is just pitiful now. I'm working at home for the rest of the week. Fuck it.

    They just done this to my train as well from Bexleyheath line. I can't even be bothered to change, just gonna take a slow walk across town.
  • Got on the 7:59 from Bexley, second day in a row the heating is on. Points failure at Lee yesterday, now points failure at Lewisham.

    Finally rock into London Bridge at 8:55. Train driver then announces someone has been taken ill.

    Heating on + Packed in like sardines = someone fainting.

    No shit Sherlock

    smug
    Yes indeed *Smug Mode*
  • The sooner Cannon St is back open, the better. Getting fed up with my DLR at Woolwich being packed out with you SouthEastern mob this week!!! :wink:

    I'm normally on the train you're on mate. Please don't take it the wrong way if I'm a teensy bit relieved that my alternative choice this morning wasn't a total bummer. About to do that slow walk you suggest.

    Cycle to work scheme guys. Did it last year after being fed up with Southeastern and don't regret it at all. May change my mind once flattened by a HGV but so far so good.

    Yeah I am the same, best change I've made even though cycling through Lewisham and New Cross can be a bit hairy at times.

    Stay on the road then,keep off the pavement.
  • Got the 8.55 from Hither Green to Charing Cross, now sat 100 yards outside hither green station, no info as usual, absolute farcking disgrace.

    It would take me 3hours 15 to cycle the 34 miles from chatham to Westminster. I'll give that a miss...

    Agreed - used to laugh when people suggested riding to work but now I actually look forward to getting up and on the bike each morning. Injured at the moment so back using the train. Can't say I've missed it.

    Don't get your hopes up. The 8.30 from Elmstead Woods hasn't reached London Bridge yet.

    Don't particularly fancy cycling up the m2 either to be honest.
