Fair play. We will just agree to disagree. Nothing to get in a barney over.

Apparently "only" causing 20 min delays, so presumably isn't that bad. Fortunately, I'm working at home today anyway. Back up to the smoke tomorrow, though.
so technically running on time then. Well done Southern

Oops, delays have increased to 30 mins.

Not one train has been on time so far this year and I've ended up walking to work twice from my connection. I'm sure that extra 15% is being put to use somewhere.

I have got delay repay for 3 out of 4 journeys (an acceptable 20 minute delay home tonight) so far in 2014.
I have got so many delay repays running I have lost track on how much I am due to be refunded.

Depressing. I don't see it changing any time soon

A different kind of pasty
I have a horrible feeling I was on that tube train when that happened at Warren Street this morning. We pulled up pretty sharpish, and the doors didn't open, then the driver came on the pa saying we were "in an emergency situation". Then the lights went out on the train, presumably as they cut the power, then a staff member came along a few minutes later opening all the doors manually and we had to evacuate the station. Loads of police, fire and ambulance crews at the top. Not a nice feeling.

No. It is getting worse each year. Cant see it ever improving.

It may be a little sad, but I think I may keep my own log this year to see how bad it really is. 10 mins late this morning - and exceedingly busy on the train for some reason, was standing by Hove today, which has got to p*ss you off if you've paid 4.5k.

This week will push the London line to it's capacity, as just about everyone who might work in London will be 'in the office'. On the London Bridge service from Littlehampton yesterday(which I caught at 6:47 from Durrington), the coach I was in (decent seats) had people standing from Worthing!!

Yup, I was told it was busy yesterday on the earlier one (6:22 at Shoreham).

Well worth the 5K I pay for the privilege.

Indeed. I switched from your train to the early one a few years ago because seats were starting to become scarce, if it carries on like this, mine will be the same (though it will drop off over the next weeks). I don't have an earlier LB train to get !
I really am going to have to get my arse into gear and start claiming. It's been a shambles recently. A properly company might have struggled with the weather conditions so there was never any danger of the current train clowns coping with them properly.
