[Albion] Train issues for tonight

[ozzygull]

On the train already from Reading to Paddington then Elizabeth line to Stratford. Just had an announcement that power line is down and trees between Reading and London so delayed here at then moment. Safe trip everyone

Made it to Maidenhead and stuck again

Things are moving albeit slowly, think most should be fine getting here.

Bin day down here and my trip back from lunch involved lots of empty bins doing their best Mr Tumble impression onto the road. That would be a new one for Southern Fail - cancelled due to a bin on the line

Don’t give them ideas!

Got that one in the back pocket for when it goes wrong on the way home

Got on the 14.24 from Warrior Square. Train hit a tree between Battle and Robertsbridge and we’ve not moved since. That was 2 hours 30 minutes ago. Not going to make the match. Will hopefully get home in time to watch on tv.

Just come home from Sevenoaks station. Multiple trees down on Kent lines and roof of part of Grove Park Station blocking entire track up line. Might just about get in to London but could well not get back!! Nightmare!!

First game this season I've missed and by the looks of this thread it was a wise choice.
Safe travels people

I’m on the 4.46 Thameslink from Haywards Heath which is running on time and just getting into East Croydon.

It's very very windy in London and I even heard reports the smog has cleared over the East End.

Bin lids everywhere, house for sale signs snapped off etc...

Most bizarrely a saw a w******* on a a push scooter being propelled by the wind in the bus lane a couple of hours ago.

Attempted to get the train from Guildford but South Western advised the next train going would take over an hour and twenty minutes (leaving at 5pm) and they couldn't guarantee its arrival at Waterloo, furthermore they couldn't guarantee a train home later on. Decided to cut my losses and head home. Shame as I was looking forward to seeing the Olympic Stadium for the first time, and have a sneaking suspicion we'll pull off another result.

Beer merchants tap has lovely beer. Smooth journey. Nice!

I thought I'd be clever and get the "fast" train from St Pancras.

No driver natch

I remember and England international being cancelled once do to smog. I guess it stopped being a thing when coal started fazing out. Against Northern Ireland, I think. Late 70s maybe.

We have lots of pubs, but only one tree.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Wow, really glad I'm working from home today.

Good luck to everyone who's making the effort

And l'm really glad that l retired in 2016, don't miss the commuting one teeny bit. Really feel; for the poor so and so's who still have to do it though.
