Anyone know how I find Charlton Life as every time I use my normal link I end up on this this thread from The Holmesdale. Do I need to delete my cookies?2

Don't worry, response team on the way. Wonder if the "Chain saw team" are also the "Swan Removal Squadron", or whether they have a separate emergency unit for dealing with swan-related crises

Just when we thought the Swan Response Team was gonna save the day......

I thought a train would remove them quickly ;-)

Pathetic. 6 birds, just flipping shoo them off with a broom or something. This lot probably call the fire brigade to blow out their birthday candles.
Unbelievable. "Swans on the line" will be added to the Master List now as well, to be wheeled out once a fortnight so it can be squeezed in between "Signal Failure", "Displaced Train Crew", "Congestion in the London Bridge area".

It's usually good seeing a couple of birds getting stuck in on a line.4

I once had a driver delay a train 10 minutes because he was getting a squashed pheasant off of the front of his train. He jumped back into his cab claiming it would be his tea for that night.Norman_Smith said:Never any Swans on the line when it was BR

Get the queen to sort them out ffs. They belong to her. What do we pay you for Liz?1

This is my favourite CL thread. Carry on....0

Swans are property of The Crown and it is a treasonable offence to harm them, despite the fact they are evil feckers that can break bones with their bill. So why didn't the train keep going, would have been a legitimate excuse to hang the people that run South Eastern!6

SouthEastern have long ventured beyond the bounds of parody. Management maybe (and I hate myself for this) aren't entirely to blame for this, surely only the driver would be able to see swans on the line and decide to stop. Adult swans protecting young are fearlessly aggressive it's true but no danger to 100s of tonnes of train or its passengers.cafcsinger said:

Maybe the driver misremembers the story from back in the 70s about the InterCity 125 testers and the chickens launched at the new windscreen glass.
More likely to be yet more shameless mendacity from the loathsome company to cover up yet more planned staff shortages.0 -
I love the fact that various other threads devolve into train talk, while this one has suddenly turned to discussion of swans and casting a fantasy Charlton Life Carry On film. Never change guys, never change.6

Who's looking forward to the Thameslink closures between 26th Aug - 2nd Sept, then?
Reaction to the announcement over the intercom: "oh for fu-... wait a second... I'm on holiday! Yaaaaasss!'0
