Why do the trains brake down so frigging often down here? Cars don't. Good job planes don't.

Nuts. I'm travelling to Manchester today on an advanced ticket on named trains. Anyone know if I am permitted to get an earlier train than my specified train to make sure I don't miss my connecting train?

They're announcing @ Preston Park to go to London via Lewes. Having said that they'll prob clear the line in 5 mins.

Broken down Northbound train at Hassocks.
Got to Hove at 7.05 to see the 6.31 still hadn't left and was blocking a platform. Headed straight back home. Probably done as much work from home as the office this year so far.

Yup, I'm back home after sitting on my London Bridge train at Hove for an hour. Pathetic - either the trains are comng to the end of their lives or they're not maintained properly.i've been doing this commute for 20 years and the reliability is no better now than then. - not that Southerns stats will show you that. Any other business that had not improved in 20 years would not still be in business.

I like how southernfail tweeted 3 different people within a minute saying 3 different delay times for the same train 30 mins 45 mins and an hour

I would say if you got a discount on the ticket due to getting specific trains, then they wouldn't normally let you go on others without penalty. You might get away with it though, depending on the guard

National rail site when you put in brighton to london bridge it says all on time.
Mobile version says 60 min delays.
Great work, glad I made the decision to quit London and work in Lewes in just under 2 weeks time

Another few million man-hours lost today then. Lovely how one clapped out tin box can cut whole counties off from their place of work.

Other than the time lost sat on the train, I'll probably work more hours today at home than I would have done, because I won't have a rush later to get home. Not really the point though

If I drive to Haywards Heath, are the trains running ok from there?

I don't normally commute but have had to for the past few days. I have nothing but respect (and a slight sense of pity) for those of you who do this regularly. Currently crammed, Japan-style on the Hove to Brighton train. That said, I do have an extremely attractive young lady pressed up against me, so it's not all bad news.
