Train trouble today Lewes -> Brighton

[Birdie Boy]

I was being sarcastic about the steering wheels and did also notice the spelling mistake but could'nt be arsed to change it.

Everything will be fine.

Coldean Lane re-opening about NOW and Trains to Falmer will be OK

At least train did not break down on the viaduct. They wuz lucky.

Luckily I HAVE a SAUSE at Southern too and THIS is the LATEST news -

1225 Seaford to Brighton has broken down between Lewes and Falmer thus no service running Lewes to Brighton via Falmer they are running via Wivelsfield.
Services from Brighton towards Lewes are running through Falmer but suffering heavy delays and cancellations due to stock and crew displacement.
Fitters and ops manager are on the stricken train now so can't see the line being closed much longer although delays will occur for a while after due to the stock and crew issues.
Allow extra time for your journey or catch the bus for which train tickets are valid.

Let me have a wild guess? Was it one of those old shit London units from the 1970's that Southern swapped for our nice new trains? The ones that are ALWAYS breaking down? Even the staff say they're shit. Over the last couple of years, I've been stuck in stations twice after the things have conked out.

In the good old BR days if a train broke down, they would dispatch a diesel locomotive to drag or push the thing out the way. That's not an option in this area these days.

Southern Website now reporting "No incidents on Network as at 16:15"

"Normal service resumed on Southern between Brighton and Lewes following earlier broken down train between Falmer and Lewes."

JourneyCheck - Southern - Summary - Live Train Disruption/Cancellations/Delays and Real Time Departure/Arrival Boards

Showing quite a few Hove - Brighton shuttles cancelled - probably hazard a guess that the broken down train would of probably ran these. Most Seaford trains are the "new" old trains arent they ? So probably was one of those that failed.

The ones w/o toilets ?

Thats the ones

Still no Hove - Brighton shuttle. Not helping that the trains running into Brighton from the west are already full. Oh and what a surprise, there are also trains in the sidings at Brighton doing f*** all.

Sent from my Nexus S using TapaTalk while bashing one out.

The club needs to get a bucket load of busses in for league games as you can't rely on bloody trains,a fast and affective shuttle service needs to be sorted.

My son has just told me that he read somewhere that delays are expected on the Brighton - Lewes line on Saturday but I have read the National rail website and there is nothing on that does anybody know of planned work on that line Saturday.
