Got to go to the office tomorrow as table booked for Xmas meal, bet the service will be trashed

But I don't blame SR for this as they are struggling as are all operators with this cold snap.

Remember not to leave the meal early, you must stay in your seat until AFTER the pudding.

Otherwise you may be liable for a penalty charge.

Fair play to Southern, it least it's managed to get some information about today's services up on its website which was more than First Crapital could do (by 6.10 anyway) - it still has yesterday's information on its site. To reiterate what other people have said during this spell of cold weather - transport companies may not be able to cope with the weather but there's NO excuse for the lack of information.

Mind you, I've also been searching Southern for information as to from what time our Family Railcard is valid and it doesn't see fit to put up that info - that seems pretty shoddy to me.

Must say I have made it to work pretty much on time today, but I was watching the Southern website from 5 when I got up. They specified a "revised timetable" for today, and mentioned the LA to London Vic trains with their revised times, but absolutely no mention of the rush-hour trains, or if any were going to London Bridge. So, I went to the station on pot-luck - and, ok it ran fine, but I had no way of knowing that beforehand. There is no forecast of any snow today, so the return journey wil hopefully be ok, but I won't hold my breath.

No probs on the 7.33 to Lomdon Bridge today. Even got in ON TIME f*** me.

However the preceding FCC was naturally cancelled and the 7.30 to Victoria delayed by 12 mins due to "adverse weather".

 

[Fawkesy]

i need to get the FCC service from Bedford to Brighton tomorrow to come home for christmas so i hope they sort themselves out!

Don't quote me, but not on a weekly I don't think. Use it or lose it, I suspect.

Major cancellations from Worthing to Victoria, anybody know why ?

The only cancellation from Worthing towards London on the site is "17:45 Littlehampton to Haywards Heath due 18:41". THere are qutie a few running with short carriages though and a signalling problem down near Southampton.

I'm leaving the car at home tomorrow and getting the train from Portslade to HH as its our works do.
I'm pooping it a bit. I just KNOW I'm going to get done over by the trains either on the journey there or coming back. I have accepted it, but I've not yet come to terms with it.

Not according to the live departues on the national rail website, its says the 16.36, 17.36 and 18.06 are all cancelled !!

Ok, conflicts with Southern I think - but there are about 50 amendments to services on there, so I may have missed them.

UNBELIEVABLE. The 1800 Gatwick Express from Victoria actually arrived in Brighton at the scheduled time of 1910 tonight. First time in about 4 weeks.

To be fair, they've been pretty good this week, and unless we get any major snow before tomorrow evening, I should have no further troubles til after NY. I have now got in the habit of checking the Southern Website every morning though before I leave home, to see if there's any note of anything happening.
