1636 to Brighton left Victoria at 1724. Suddenly optimistic I'll make kick-off after all...

Bozza, you at Victoria?

Spoke to BTP. Unsure if the person is dead but if this took place an hour ago its safe to say their either dead or in critical condition and unsafe to move. No idea how "messy" it is either.

The 1613 is still on the screen and the 1632 is expected 1707 which was nearly 20 minutes ago so the screens are ****ed too.

Unable to check work emails right now.

[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] and I were at London Bridge. We're now on the sardine express to East Croydon. I don't think Tony made it on.

Same train, was held at Croydon due to congestion, did wonder whether you would change there !!

Incident was not fatal, but person taken to hospital with serious injuries, had it of been fatal, lines would have been closed longer.

And I'm on a Gatwick express (if it runs) sitting on platform six at Victoria (one for [MENTION=23454]HawkTheSeagull[/MENTION] there)

Boarded the 16.38 at the pleasantly suave and unpeopled Blackfriars. Bit of a hold-up at Croydon, but only 10 minutes or so. Made the right move getting this one. So there. *snooze*

We've still got the change at East Croydon to negotiate. getting there by kick off looks challenging at the moment

[MENTION=3711]Driver8[/MENTION] Your train has been pathed in front of the Thameslink train to Brighton, you could change at either Gatwick or Three Bridges but it will be incredibly tight. The train is the same Thameslink service being mentioned above.

Is 'pathed' a verb?

Going to be sent via a slow and long alternative route via South London, if it runs. EDIT - Just left Victoria, unsure which route its going to use as there is 3 possible therefore I cant say where to change.

Each train gets a path, its derived from that word, basically was allowed to go first.

[MENTION=13980]KneeOn[/MENTION] You've been pathed Via Balham on the Fast Lines. Should be a Thameslink at Gatwick shortly after your due to get there.

Just squeezed onto a Brighton train via Redhill. It's "friendly".

Yeah, you just say which train you were due to travel on and what time you actually arrived, bound to be over 1 hour late so you'll get something.

Right, off to the Amex.
