  • On the Greenwich line, compounding the problem someone was taken ill at Abbey Wood. It's probably Southeastern that's made the poor sod ill with the endless shit service and overcrowding.

    Im on that train. Saw the crowds at the station first thing and jumped on a train to Dartford to get on one coming back (that I could actually get on)
    At least we've gone 'fast' from Abbey Wood. ..

    "Customers for Cannon St should board this train and change at London Bridge" or alternatively, board this train and watch London Bridge from the window on your way to Waterloo without stopping...

    Ended up walking from Hither Green to Lewisham to get the DLR as no trains from Bexley were stopping at Lewisham.

    Complete and utter joke.

    What can I do about it? F*** all. I, like many others just have to bend over and take it.

    Pathetic excuse of a company.

    A tip for next time, walk over the footbridge and get the first train from Platform 3. They all mostly stop at Lewisham :)

    That's what I was going to do and indeed ended up doing after getting off at Waterloo East and getting the 8.08 (at 8.28) back to London Bridge.

    LOL -- Tried that John. It was ridiculously busy and I didn't fancy waiting around for an hour on a packed platform.

    Plus I needed the walk after over indulging recently! ;o)

    This is all too unbelievable.

    We never hear or see that Johnboy when the Spuds do their usual losing at home after a Europa Cup tie. They sneak a last minute away winner and he's all over us like a rash. Anyway, living in North London as he surely must, how does he even know what South Eastern train are like ;-)

    Haha, 4 very late PL away winners in one season is so very un-Spursy. Pretty close to robbery picking up all three points from that game yesterday.

    I'm getting made redundant this month and I'm seriously considering not getting another job on the City because of the hassle of getting to and from work.

    If I could get a job locally that paid even close to what I can get in the City then I'd be out of here in a flash.

    If there is a safety issue, its understandable. What pisses me off is that they cancel all cannon street trains. Why dont they just terminate them at london bridge? Idiots

    they did that on my train from westcombe park

    And on the rare occasions there are leaves on the line, holes in bridges, excessive wind, snow, signal failure, trains breaking down etc etc you get paid for not being able to work.

    Chaos on way home last night and then 20 minutes late in this morning on a short-formed train with no heating. Looking forward to the January fare rises!!

    Two days in a row my train from Sidcup to CX has arrived on time, amazing.

    However, my train home tonight was 10 minutes late. To be fair though, a bloke in my carriage did pull the handle in the 'lewisham by-pass' and jump off on the track.
