  • My bike is broke (again), so had to get the train this morning.

    - Train was delayed because the train in front had an issue.
    - Train in front eventually pulled up at the platform and kicks off all the passengers.
    - After a period of time driver comes down the platform shutting all doors individually (I guess to make sure everyone was off the train).
    - Train eventually leaves.
    - My train turns up.
    - My train decides to Terminate at London Bridge.

    In short, try to avoid getting a train until my bike is fixed as I seem to have shit luck with life.

    The article mentions about making more space on trains, does that mean less seats and more standing?

    Eventually it will be standing only - the next step to making it 100% cattle class.

    No way, have you seen the requirements for cattle class?

  • No heating on the train to Ramsgate this morning. Fantastic once again Southeastern.
  • Funny that. My train is absolutely boiling today. Like a sauna.

    I reckon that because the heating isn't working in yours they've turned it up on all other trains to ensure the average temperature across all trains isn't affected! ;)

    There heating is usually on at full in the summer and not working when it's freezing cold by the sound of things.

  • signalling problem on Bexleyheath line this morning, funny how these signals know its Monday and its cold, nothing to do with staff absence (my arse)
  • Caught the train this morning without having to show my travel card due to no staff being at the station.
    On arrival at cannon Street realised that I had actually left my ticket at home.
    Went to the excess fare window and explained this.
    Really preparing myself for a decent Monday morning argument, but was quite surprised after giving my name and address, given a slip of paper to allow me to travel with no additional costs.
    i was left speechless, but pleasantly surprised.

    Wait til you have to explain that to the ticket gate fucktards at Cannon Street on your way home! Good Luck!
    The barrier staff at Charing Cross are disgusting, miserable, rude bastards. One lady this morning was literally shouting at an 8 year old girl from about 50 yards away because her ticket wouldn't work. Couldn't understand a single word she said through her thick African accent either. If it was my daughter i would of proper kicked off the way she was being spoken too. Not the first time ive seen them talk to customers like dirt.
  • Just been announced that train fares are going up by 3.4% in January - absolutely disgraceful how expensive public transport is in this country & despite how much it costs, how poor it can be when used on a daily basis.

    Don’t want to turn this into a how crap the UK is thread, but, this country is getting worse, people are barely surviving

    How can it be getting worse, so many want to come here? Let’s not worry about the strain on hospitals, transport and schools. And I’m a remainer!

    Back on ‘track’, how with the stagnation of wages over the past 10 years can the ‘man in the middle’ afford inflationary price rises, let alone inflationary busting ones like this.

    (I guess trading in the iPhone for a Nokia 3310 would be a start!).

    The money is being made somewhere, it just doesn’t filter down as much.

    Anyway, my driver this morning thinks he is in the Mallard. Was a bit concerned that the bloody thing was out of control.

  • As long as the East Kent Railway Santa Special is on time this Saturday, all will be well.

    I've been sat here for about 5 minutes trying to express how I feel about this absolute fucking rip-off but words genuinely fail me!
  • Don't tell me they are up the creek... Im about to meet AFKA and Suzi on a train to Charlton to get my free wine. Choo chooooooo!

  • Ffs @MrLargo You made me scroll down their Twitter to look for more comedy gold. Instead the first three tweets are about this:




    I just know this will affect my journey into Victoria in the morning as that's the line we take through Herne Hill. I know the works will overrun or some twat will forget to put the fecking track back and trains will be messed up.

    Instead of going to bed nice and warm I've just started walking.

    Thanks.
  • Called it ffs. Stuck between Bromley South and Herne Hill.

    Bastards.
  • I thought you were walking @cantersaddick ??? :wink:
  • This lot are really taking the piss today. After 3 months of slippery rail excuses due to leaf fall, today it appears to be slippery rails due to rainfall! Let's not forget, it'll be getting colder soon, and then it'll be slippery rails due to ice. And then it'll be summer, it'll get hot and apparently that means the rails get warped, so more delays.

    So basically, there's gonna be about a week sometime in late spring when the weather will be just about okay for the trains to run properly, but you just know they'll pull out the new "drivers stuck in traffic on the M25" excuse.

    I f&#king hate you, you twisted freaks!
  • Seriously dont get the issue

    Yesterday both my trains were on time and got a seat... this morning my train was even a few mins early into Cannon Street so know all this means one thing - I'm about to get royally screwed over by the trains on an epic proportion sometime soon
