No trains to London

Burst water main then landslip - could be a very bad week trying to get to London from the South coast, might have to work at home

That does not bode well.

We could be talking Hassocks landslip and line closed for a week

Oh brilliant - I work in East Croydon and was hoping to get off early (back to Worthing) as it's my birthday today and it looks like it's going to be a tricky proposition now

East Croydon - Clapham Junction - Havant - Worthing if you get the timings right shouldn't put too much extra time on the journey. Happy Birthday, btw!

Nothing said to be running till 1545, all Eastbourne/Littlehampton to Victorias terminating at Gatwick and restarting south from there as are all the Arun Valley services. All 19/49 Brighton expresses cancelled, additional services running from Brighton to Purley calling all stations UFN.

Annual bathtime for the locals

so any Network Rail or Southern nsc guys give us any better information. Just rung my wife in London and told her she might be going home via Havant!

Nothing changed to present situation, traincrews stuck in London are coming back via Havant on SWT services

Go home. Now.
It's your birthday.
You have been told.

(PS Happy Birthday!)

Options going home unless resolved are via Havant or Hastings - Ernest any idea when full service re-instated ?

I will let you know dear boy as soon as the situation changes

Hmmmm getting to Haywards Heath could be fun. Don't know whether to leave now and see where I get to or hope it is sorted by rush hour (if problems as trains/crew out of place)

Looks like it might be train to E Croydon then bus to 3 Bridges

From southernrailway.com

We are attempting to arrange rail replacement buses between East Croydon and Three Bridges, between Oxted and East Croydon, between Redhill and Oxted, between Uckfield and Oxted, between Purley and East Croydon and between Crowborough and Tunbridge Wells (for connection to Southeastern services).

On a nice hot day as well. Tempers are going to FLARE. Glad I don't work on the railways.

Doesn't look too difficult to re-open the fast line down

 

[Super Gus!]
