Southern Railways Official Contingency Plans

[Yoda]

Southern Rail Managers actioning a contingency plan when something goes wrong:

 

[Lord Bracknell]

The only "risk" I can see that needs managing at Falmer is that of someone on the platform being pushed, accidently or otherwise, under a train. This risk doesn't seem to be managed at all. This risk isn't just at Falmer - Preston Park used to be a nightmare too - more people on the platform than is safe.
Perhaps, therefore, that the risk of someone falling under a train IS being mitigated by the fact that there are none!

The risk of overcrowding of the platforms at Falmer is actually being quite well managed. Not by Southern, of course, but by the Club's stewards who close the gates when numbers get close to excessive.

If a definitive service is not known by 3pm then SASTA are messing about, they will know exactly what resources they have on all lines by then for the afternoon peak/evening services and will have no excuse for a Villa lack of information

Excellent. Not so good at the Brighton end.
PS: Anybody seen a train today? (West Coastway)

 

[Brovion]

WTF do any of these actually mean? They're all just high-level business bullshit phrases, which don't actually give you any useful information. Lee Collins has obviously been on a management training course.

Tch! It's quite obvious there's been a major paradigm shift as they look to leverage their existing resources into a more customer-focused business model moving forward.

That's all very well, but wouldn't it make more sense to synergise their end-to-end resources and offer a more granular user-centric experience? Perhaps we should take this offline and touch base later in the week.

Nothing has been updated, they should be knowing by now exactly what service they intend to run not just to Falmer but on other lines too

 

[Pevenseagull]

Good to see 'there are plans for a ‘table top’ exercise between Southern and the BTP to test the coordination of these contingency plans early in 2017'

That there is weapons grade bullshit.

They can't even operate the revised timetable for today. 15.06 I was due to get from Victoria to Horsham cancelled.
