train issues

Warning to all travelling to Hull from Brighton by train tonight.

currently chaos caused by an earlier broken down train at Purley and a tresspasser at East Croydon. Also points and signal issues at Bognor and Littlehampton.

good luck.

Southern Site says the problems are sorted, they just need to catch up now with all the delays. Just now they were advertising 60min delays, but that's gone down to 30. I would think back to normal fairly shortly.

Highly recommend that you follow [MENTION=26439]Brightons[/MENTION]tation on Twitter. Usually first with travel news and v.v funny.

Agreed. Very useful. I think there were two separate trespassers at East Croydon to add to faulty signals at Bognor, Littlehampton and Keymer Junction and the broken down train at Purley Oaks. All good fun.

I am anxious to find out if this would have happened in Germany or it has forced anyone to work at home?

13:02 from Croydump was only 10 late at St.Pancras, still caught 13:48 Hull Trains from The Cross.

These are the KEY details that we are currently lacking.

If you havent left for Hull yet from Sussex, then you probably wont be getting there by KO !!

2 trespassers on the track today at East Croydon, the mecca of idiots, a bird strike at Purley which jammed a trains brakes on and signal issues at other places. There has been easier days !! Also now a broken down train at Portsmouth.

I can never get my head round trespassers on the lines - how stupid are these people ?

Just departed Doncaster, less than 1 hour till we get to Hull!

Well they live in Croydon, so pretty stupid already. 1 was a suicide attempt but they failed and were arrested, the other one - 2 hours after the first - escaped by climbing over a lineside fence.

Its like playing Russian Roulette as Croydon is full of trains, rails and especially 3rd rails.
