Southeastern train disruption (franchise to be taken over by Govt p191)

They’re all still completely fucked. Lines have been open 5 hours now since this mornings incident and there hasn’t been a bexleyheath train for over an hour and 20 minutes. Meant to be on the school run but that ain’t happening. Complete cunts.

none of the cynical sponging cunts who've run the franchise through Charlton have ever paid any heed to scheduling works on matchdays
for sure a lot of the engineering work has to be scheduled 3 months or so ahead of time but that still means there's no excuse for fucking up hundreds of fans' afternoons after the start of October through to the end of May
I have travelled frequently from Kent to London and almost always to games on s0"th€st€rn's complacent cashflow pisstake of a service for 25 years - more often than not, weekend journeys into the metropolis are on the semi-fast through Woolwich and Charlton, from 4 possible routes it's that one by far and away the most often - Matchday Saturdays are blighted by engineering works, short-formed trains and reduced services between 20 and 25% of the time - non-matchdays hardly ever.
I know the new tracks to Abbey Wood have been a factor over the last couple of years but services through AW weren't disrupted every weekend, nothing like - my experience has been that matchdays were disrupted by a hugely disproportionate frequency. It's as if there's been a policy of disrupting the maximum number of travellers, not the least. Presumably based on the fallacy 'there's no such thing as bad publicity' doesn't matter what we're saying about the service so long as it's talked about.
"look lads we're trending on twitter again!"
s0"th€st€rn have never paid any heed to a single word said by any paying customer and they'll pay just as much attention to this latest well intentioned proposal - deprived as they are of resources none of the poor benighted saps at NR will even be aware of it

I'm at 15000 feet above Portugal and I'm still checking in to this thread and wondering if I can get a delay repay claim out of the cunts. What is wrong with me!??

Wow, what type of train is that you’re on?

Just got called a cunt by one of their on duty staff, all cos I moaned about the ineptitude of their service, quite stunned really

And despite a sea of cancellations, delays and congested platforms, I find the one train that decided to close its doors 40 seconds early...

With you standing on the outside looking in?

No I managed to wedge a leg in the door and completely ruin a pair of suit trousers

I’ll probably have grown out of then by the time I eventually get back to Sidcup

I'm sure you can get exactly the same pair at Primark.

Matalan. I’m not proud.

Got a nice carpet style burn on my knee. It’s been a good day all round on the train front

That's not from the train though, is it??

If only there was a pub nearby to ease the pain....
