    Can MrLargo re-negotiate Brexit for us - absolute hero! Voice of the Voiceless, the people’s champion

    This is the guy that couldn't negotiate his way out of daily trips to gift shops and nail bars while on holiday with Loopy Lil?!?

    This is worrying as Mr Largo definitely said he was on the Cannon Street train.

    Yeh, sorry about that. I was on my way to post it to Hillsbrough and it fell out of my case.

    Mike, I would never risk making my fellow commuters' journeys even more appalling than they already are by leaving a turd in the middle of a public area.

    If I were to find myself in possession of a human stool whilst passing through a South Eastern Trains station, I would probably walk to the ticket office, go up to the window and ask for an Anytime Day Return from Cannon Street to Sevenoaks. The ticket bloke would then grunt, "that'll be £23.20. I would then reply by saying "that is an absolutely disgusting amount to charge. I'm therefore going to pay you in an absolutely disgusting way". Then I would stick it in that slidy box thing that goes from your side of the window to his.

    Either that or I'd just sling it in the face of one of their Revenue Protection Officers, the blokes that get all brave when there's 5 of them crowded round a little old lady who's mislaid her Senior Railcard but go into hiding when the trains are up the spout and they know that literally every commuter is thinking "If you f%$king dare you to query my ticket then I will strangle you with your own entrails".

    Can this thread be used in evidence against me if I do ever get round to slaughtering the South Eastern Senior Management Team?

    Go carefully Largs old son. Charlton Life has, we know, been the single biggest obstacle in our septuagenarian shit4brains's search for a dribbling fucktard to pay up the many mi££ions that CAFC is worth. Practically everything published on this site is gold-plated truth of the highest order, there's not a court in the land that won't use it as solid evidence of malice aforethought. Fortunately there also isn't a court in the land that wouldn't accept the wholesale extinction of TOC executives as a priority.
    As for the concourse shitter, he/she/it should be rounded up with the TOC trough feeders and rendered for tallow and bonemeal fertiliser.

    Valid point mate. South Eastern's constant patheticness, and the fact that they make trains - a thing of joy to all genuine Charlton supporters - into something that we fear or even hate, that brings out a level of bravery within me and a willingness to fight that just doesn't happen with anything else.

    If I was in charge of negotiating Brexit, I'd probably have given Gibraltar back to Spain on the first day, and subsequently given Scotland and Wales away to help sweeten the deal. Although actually, now I think about it, why don't we just give away Scotland and Wales? We don't need them. Yes, we lose leeks and battered Mars Bars, but we never have to listen to or look at Nicola Sturgeon again, and Robbie Savage could potentially be deported out of England. Maybe there is a future for me a politics.

    disruptions expected until 4.30pm i know there has been a fatality but what is the reasoning for for closing the line for 3 and a half hours, i know it may seem insensitive but that seems a ridiculous amount of time.

    Saw a programme about this a while ago and they can't move the body until an official, coroner maybe, declares that the person is dead, in this case the person had been decapitated but still had to wait for the official to arrive.

    Corrected. We have fully entered the South Eastern's Winter Misery Timetable. It can only be a matter of days before the first full system meltdown of the festive period. Always puts me in a jolly mood when I arrive at Cannon Street in the evening, eager to get home, and gaze through the dangerously overcrowded concourse at the useless destination boards listing a selection of cancellations and indefinite delays and quickly realise that it'll quicker and significantly less painful if I crawl home on all fours and stop every 5 minutes to taser myself in the knackers.

    Tossers.

    Bob Neill MP having a moan about Southeastern in Parliament yesterday:

    He spoke very well there, nailed the fact it’s a monopoly and that there is no competition in the franchise model.

    "Problems with the signals". It feels like only yesterday that I was waiting for a train that was delayed to to signalling problems. And indeed, it was yesterday, once in the morning and once in the evening. I f%$king hate you, you f%&king parasites.

    It would have been helpful to have Network Rail replacing the signals whilst they spent three years turning London Bridge station into a shopping centre. But that wouldn't bring in any extra revenue so obviously at the bottom of the To Do list.

    I was just sitting at my desk doing some work. I looked out of the window and noticed that it isn't exactly 19C, dry, no wind, with light clouds blocking the glare from the sun, and I thought to myself "there's bound to be disruption, you can't possibly run a train service properly on a mild, entirely unremarkable day like today." Logged on here and to nobody's surprise whatsoever, Wilma had helpfully up the first f$*k up this evening's rush hour.

    C£%ts.

    My train from Cannon Street was delayed. Fortunately I was 2 minutes late and it was delayed by 3. I it’s so I got in and it set off. First luck for months.

    A few years ago I was travelling between Cologne and Dusseldorf on business when the train came to a sudden halt...The announcer said there was a fatality on the line and we would get going ASAP. I thought we would be stuck there for hours. Within 20 minutes we were moving. About 10 minutes later we passed an area where a body was covered in a blanket and local police and ambulance was in attendance.

    Their view is the traveller is the king.

    3% rise from January on ticket prices. Fuck knows what they'd try charge if the trains ran on time.

    faulty train at barnehurst causing delays - i know of no other customer focused industry that shows such lack of care for it users and customers - bastards of the highest order.

    Customer focussed? Don’t know what gave you that idea.
  • South West Trains have a lot to answer to.

    I'm at Vauxhall waiting for the 13.28 to Dorking. There has been about 10 trains stop whilst I have waited for my one, and none of them have a toilet! A f****** disgrace.

    It would appear apart from the services going to the coast none of the trains carry a basic requirement.

    My brother in law is BTP and got called to this job. Heavily pregnant woman took her own life stepping in front of a high speed train. I won’t go into details about what he saw but he was extremely traumatised by the whole thing. Southeastern are a disgrace but I think something like that puts travel disruption into perspective.
