I was caught right in the middle of this farce, I got the already delayed train from Lewes to Brighton at around quarter to 2, it goes smoothly until london road where it just stops, we then learn about the train derailment, and are stuck there for about an hour and a half, eventually I just gave up and walked from london road to brighton station, where I was greeted with long lines for buses that arrived about half an hour later, at least they gave us water (that was nice) and delay re payment leaflets, though I got a thameslink one which is useless to me. So after all that I finally got back home in Hassocks at 5 o'clock. FFS!

The big question is, am I entitled to a delay re payment?
Yes, absolutely.

The trains have already been a disaster this week late on both Monday and Tuesday, such a joke service
Remind me how much commuters pay a year for the privilege of this nonsense?

You mean the nonsense that happens to pretty much most railways ?
Mainline services have now resumed but only using a single line past the derailed train, delays to last all evening. Line via Arundel is now also shut, due to a fire.

Absolute twats at Southern. Why don't they understand that information is key. If the trains are ****ed, TELL people their options, don't just leave people stuck on squashed trains not moving in silence. ****wits
Just finally managed to leave Brighton - usual appalling standards of communication and customer service from Southern.

Not very good, one hour late home
Hopefully it just reached the threshold for you to make a bigger Delay Repay claim though. Every cloud...

Sadly not you cannot claim off a benefit in kind

But you have the benefit of seeing all the sweaty unwashed masses in standard though
It's certainly been a rough week for commuters this week.
At least so it appears as I work from sofa in shorts and a t-shirt.

she fell over!
Taken from Twitter, not a serious one as it probably happened at low speed, though it is blocking the London-bound line. As West and East Coast lines dont appear to be affected, they will probably be opened as soon as power can be restored. Mainline trains will have disruption for a while though.
