I’ve got 4 days worth of London commutes this week. FOUR. Going well so far but then I was on the 5.49 out of Portslade. I hold out no hope for tonight at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought about driving but the stories I got about that from people in the office put me right off. A choice between crawling in traffic from Gatwick if you turn off there or braving the M25 for a junction in rush hour before battling all those Dorises in Chelsea Tractors that they can't drive...

I did that for a short while and actually binned it off for a London Terminals commute. It was unbearable, literally the worst commute I have ever done. The number of times I found myself freezing my nads off at either Gatwick or Redhill couldn't be accurately counted. The little 2 car efforts...

Come back to me on prejudice when you can order several beers, a decent meal and a taxi home in Mandarin,

It's going a bit off topic but iPhones made under contract to Apple and sheet metal supplied at a cheap price are two very different things. Thanks for your patronising tone but I lived in Taiwan for three years and visitied Hong Kong and the mainland numerous times. Taiwan now produces very...

The comment was that it was cheap and substandard. From the bloke's profile on FB he looks like he works for the railway. He's also a Pompey fan so make of that what you will :lolol: I assume by your comment that you've been out and inspected some Chinese rail parts factories? Further that...

Indeed. Surely the signalling issues today, and on Monday, are down firmly to Network Rail? It would seem from experience that the signals do not work too well in sunshine, rain, wind, cold, warmth, snow or humidity. Somone on the ABC Facebook group alledged that they are getting in cut price...

Rearranging meetings to conference calls or other days as I type. Sigh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh Christ. I'm back in the office tomorrow. Great. *crosses self*

https://www.londonreconnections.com/2018/holy-grails-and-thameslink-fails-part-2-the-plan-that-went-wrong/ I posted the link above on its own thread but it's worth sticking on here too. It's very long but don't worry, you should be able to complete it during your commute home :lolol: If you've...

I'm so glad I use Victoria now and not London Bridge as I had to a couple of years ago. Sussex based LB commuters have been royally shafted by the timetable by all accounts. At least the Gatwick Express is comfortable and has dodgy wifi. I prefer using it and changing at Brighton to the direct...

Think I got relatively lucky! Was on the 17.59 GX which at least kept going to Brighton without being terminated, though very, very slowly. I did have some woman's toddler throwing cardboard books at me and looking on the verge of throwing up. It crawled in 90 minutes late and at almost the...
