No but we can blame her for the undermining of the comms team, which means that the most recent announcement on the 'rail travel' section of the club's website is that there will be no trains to Bristol on Boxing day.waldo said:Once again the trains 'are up the pole'. Can't blame KM for that though?

rarely had train problems on match days prior to this ownership.3

Trains look problematic for this Saturday too, an hour's journey and two changes from Waterloo East to Charlton. Starting at London Bridge makes little difference.0

This is a good lesson in why you shouldn't privatize transit and infrastructure that should be conducted (pun intended) in the public interest and not for profit.3

It looks like the trains are finally running on the Slade Green line this Saturday.0

So if the railways hadn't been privatised they wouldn't need to be shut now for engineering works? Sounds good, but how does it work in practice - particularly for something like these Thaneslink works at London bridge?SDAddick said:This is a good lesson in why you shouldn't privatize transit and infrastructure that should be conducted (pun intended) in the public interest and not for profit.

Network rail have done more to quell attendances and protests than this regime have9

If you look it up, it appears that British Rail Engineering staff were trained so that the ongoing works could take place whilst the network was operational.Off_it said:

It is cheaper to shut down the lines and get in staff without the same level of safety training in and, strangely, that's what happened following the break up of BR.2 -

There's no way the Thameslink work at London Bridge or Crossrail work at Abbey Wood could be done without massive disruption and closures, these are enormous rebuilding exercises0

Rubbish. We all know that public sector infrastructure projects have a tremendous record of being delivered on-time, under-cost and with as little disruption to the general public as possible.killerandflash said:There's no way the Thameslink work at London Bridge or Crossrail work at Abbey Wood could be done without massive disruption and closures, these are enormous rebuilding exercises

Yeah, good old British Rail. Wooden carriages that turned into matchwood when they crashed, smoke filled carriages, people crammed into the guards van, no barriers - just a bloke "collecting" (ahem!) the fares at the station, drunk drivers, wooden boards displaying where the train was going............ those were the days!NornIrishAddick said:

Stuck between tonbridge and high brooms right now. Been stood still for coming up to 45 minutes. Absolute nuts. Driver has no idea why we've been held, Twitter is saying signal problems and the line is shut. Still stuck on a bloody train!! Could've walked home to my house from here in this time0

Still. Fucking. Waiting. Over an hour we've been stood still.0

At last... REAL CL porn!!5

This is what we need, more trains choo choo!0

17 degrees outside this morning and the heating was on full blast. And still we had wankers shutting the Windows. Unbelievable0
-
At home. Honestly one of the worst train experiences of my life. Simply because in the amount of time we stood still I could've walked home from where we were, had dinner, and walked back.0

A reminder that the trains are (even more) screwed up today than normally on Saturdaydrewman said:Trains look problematic for this Saturday too, an hour's journey and two changes from Waterloo East to Charlton. Starting at London Bridge makes little difference.
The only direct trains from London are from Victoria (at 04 and 34)
Good luck to the Derby fans trying to get to the ground0 -
From LB jubilee line to North Greenwich and then 486 bus to Charlton is the answer, arriving at the museum now0

That's how I go, but nor sure how well it would cope if 2000 Derby fans decide to come that way!SE7toSG3 said:From LB jubilee line to North Greenwich and then 486 bus to Charlton is the answer, arriving at the museum now

It's less than half and hour to walk from North Greenwich to Charlton. A little more if you take the scenic walk along the riverside.0
