On the 0630 out of Brighton and not reached Hassocks yet. Signal problems. Happy Monday everyone.

Trains are chaotic again this morning

Signalling problems between Preston Park and Hassocks apparently so all northbound trains affected.

The 6.57 is still sitting at Brighton station and no sign of going anywhere soon and to add insult to injury it's normally a 12 carriage train but this morning they've only laid on 4 carriages.

Enjoy your commute.


Edit - apologies, missed the other thread. Can Mods merge please?

It's just pathetic, that in this day and age we can't get this sorted.

There were so many delays before Christmas and things aren't improving. Off to Leeds this morning and train already delayed and no seat available in the service I've gone on [emoji35]

Signal failure at hassocks is affecting southbound trains. Rumours of broken down train northbound. Brighton to London gains running via Lewes. LB and vic trains standing at Hove. Ho Hum

Given the weather this weekend did anyone seriously think the trains would be ok this morning? Even New York which has one of the shittest overground services in the western world is better than this!

Waited for the 6.04 at Wivelsfield....at 5.50 it was '5 mins delayed'. Arrived at 6.25, got to HH to be told it was going to terminate at East Croydon. Everyone gets off and on to the following LB service which was also late, and of course rammed.

Big item currently on BBC Sussex this morning. Apparently Southern and others being told to shape up in 3 months or lose the franchise. MP'S angry that lots of cancellations due to staff shortages.

Smugly pleased WFH today

Smugly pleased that despite the extra money on offer I've always taken a lower salary to stay outside London.

About to get in my car, listen to Juice, and drive four miles to work in the centre of Brighton ** smugness alert **

One of my rare visits to London today. The last two resulted in delay repay claims. Looks like today will be the hat-trick.

Can't wait!
