Train Problems - Worthing/Brighton/Haywards Heath (Broken down train at Hove) 25/1
- Thread starter Marty McFly
- Start date
Southern's website reports 'minor disruption' and delays of up to 30 minutes. Actually they have cancelled every train from Portslade until 07.36. That's not 'minor disruption' to me you useless cocktards.

I use Southern rail and South West Trains on a daily basis, guess which one is always delayed or cancelled ?

Looks like a bus from Portslade to Brighton for me, then a train up! Fun times.

I walked down to Shoreham station, saw there were probs, waited 3 minutes and gave up. Working ah home today then, so at least I can watch the Andy Murray match in half an hour.
Southern can get f***ed. Got to my desk on time once this week.

Southern couldn't provide a worse f***ing train service if they tried. What a shambles.

I was sat next to you on a train the other day. Not relevant, I thought I'd mention it.

1st out of LA so often the issue, all they need is to pay one person run it up & down a rarely used stretch for an hour before it starts 'work' & these issues would get found out off main track

And I really need to get much more on the case with delay repayments - how soon do you have to claim? Into my second year as a London commuter and Jan/Feb were a misery last year and frankly not looking good this time around.

Within a month-you can do it online now which makes life easier,just sign up on Southern website.The amount these fuckers are late and the amount we pay,it's worth it.
I know a guy that never actually puts his ticket trough the machine but shows it to the guard on the gate so they have no electronic record if him going through gateThen he goes onto a website that keeps records of these delays and claims for as many as he can,relevant to his route.

Oh reallyNSC baiting is a fine way to pass the commute ;-)
Indeed. I only knew because I happened to notice you were on NSC, and the page has the username at the top.
Nothing to do with southern! to cut a long story short, first train hit something and was damaged.

I've commuted for 10 years and this week has been one of the worst I can remember for trains. Not that they can really help snow and wankers on the line like yesterday.
