I remember I had one week where there was a freight train splayed across the tracks at Lewisham, and it took five days to clear it. I get on at Lee or Hither Green, so this effectively meant no trains for a week.cantersaddick said:Still not in... at least I'll get £3.40 back through delay repay. Yay
Through liberal claims on delay repay, I got back something like £68 on five days' worth of travel, when I use a monthly zone 1-3 travelcard. That ain't too bad to be fair.1 -

Took me 4 and a half hours to get home once and I got £7.40 back from my £4000 annual season ticketPaddyP17 said:

I do my job properly, just takes half the amount of time they expect. I spend every other week permanently on here....Addickted2TheReds said:

Annual Season Tickets are the best value option – the cost is the same as 40 weekly Season Tickets, so you’ll get 12 weeks of travel for free – plus lots of extra benefits.
12 weeks free of travel? Except that in August it was Thameslink stuff for a week, "please stay at home, move house, get a new job, just don't get on our trains" and it's the same again for 9 days over Christmas and New Year - "make sure you've got a plan B, because we're hardly running any trains and the ones we are running won't be going where you want them to go and will inevitably be late, cancelled and unfit for habitation by anyone higher up the evolutionary scale than a cockroach."
You thieving shits. If I wasn't conscious of how under-resourced the police are then I'd be reporting these feckless guttersnipes for fraud, theft and misrepresentation.
One of these days I'm gonna eat five chicken vindaloos, storm their CEO's office, lock the door, strip off and wait for nature to take its course.12 - Sponsored links:

South Eastern claim you get the first 12 weeks of travel free so no refunds.
Don't get me started on the #SEhiddengems hash tag that they've been pushing for the last 18 months. In protest, every tweet or facebook post has used the same hashtag with the picture of an empty platform when the train doesnt turn up!2 -
Didn't know about that, unbelievable. Honestly, I wish I had the time available to just dedicate myself full time to complaining to South Eastern, the DfT, the Prime Minister, the European Commission and the Court of Human Rights. These people are a f*#king disgrace, and the fact that they're allowed to continue in this manner is also a f%#king disgrace.JohnBoyUK said:

Actually, I take back what I said. They've changed that fairly recently then. That wasnt the case when I applied.LargeAddick said:

I can’t remember the last time I got a train that didn’t arrive at its destination late. Especially on the morning commute into London.0

According to the staff at Barnehurst, this mornings delays were down to a broken down train in the Lewisham Area, according to the train driver it was due to adverse weather conditions "imagine trying to drive your car on a frozen lake covered in washing up liquid and that's what we have to try and do with a train "
