Southern Railways Major Delays On The Brighton Line 17th September

[Beach Hut]

All trains currently cancelled / delayed to London due to broken down train in the Balcombe area.

Expect 60 minute delays and short notice cancellations - great incentive to work from home today.

I obviously dont pay enough for them to keep stock that f***ing works. So glad its another 8% in Jan on top of the 4023 with the added bonus of NEVER knowing if you will get to work on time. Thieving bastards.

The number of broken-down trains lately is ridiculous - they're obviously either not spending enough on maintenance to keep them going, or they're wearing out after being in service for about 10 years (if that). Not being able to rely on a decent train to get to work and back, and still paying £4k a year, and rising, is quite frankly pathetic.

I jumped on the 07:48 Preston Park- Victoria. We are currently en route to Wayward Thief.

Yup, most people at Shoreham seemed to be just getting to the station and heading home again. I particularly wanted to get to work today, 2 big meetings. That's b*gg*r*d now.

I think people generally do.
