    Crap. I'm supposed to be staying in London tonight then back into Kent for work in the morning.

    It's "9-10am" which will probably mean 10:30 and further cancellations and delays. I guess I'm going to have to cancel plans.

    Just seen the "9-10am" on their twitter account. Knowing SouthEastern you're probably bang on the money, you wont get a proper service all day. (The overrunning engineering works this week spring to mind.)

    A severe storm is forecast to hit overnight. We'll be running an amended timetable tomorrow. Details to be released later today #ukstorm

    Arse covering exercise. If the storm does happen, then they can say well we warned you.

    Yep, means that don't have to pay compo. Think they got 10k claims last week at least.

    Don't think they give a monkey's about last week - it was Ralitrack's fault, I think, which means that any compensation paid out will be by them, not the TOCs.

    Hate to say this, but that doesn't mean much! So far, the forecast has been spot on today - winds are predicted to get stupidly strong from about 10.00 tonight.

    Bloody hell AFKA you've started something now. What sort of baggage allowance and in flight entertainment do you offer?

    Depends which way the wind is blowing.

    to be honest, I've used up most of the baggage allowance on myself !

    I've heard there will a limited service on Wednesday as there is a chance of it being a bit overcast. Thursday there is a rumour that there might be an bit of dew early on so all trains are cancelled.

    Jeez. If there is a storm and trees on the line then fair enough but to give in before it even happens. I despair.

    Probably be like the Ash cloud a few years ago... They'll keep pushing everything back an hour throughout the day and then at 3pm they'll say that nothing is running till the next day

    Not just SouthEastern trains, Southern and South West are not running services before 9am.

    And first capital connect.

    Think I heard on the news earlier that there no trains coming into London from the south at rush hour - as advised by network rail. Gonna be fun. Useless feckers.
