They're cheesed off with the service and the chaos, but he, Nicholas Soames, Jeremy Quin et al are firmly blaming the unions.

So we continue to get a crap service without recourse to delay repay
Why are we putting up with this?

Didn't Cameron at last weeks PMQ mention improved compensation. So new timetable removing loads of trains to avoid paying. Brilliant
BBC at lunch time said there would be no Brighton to Southampton service and reduced frequency Brighton to Seaford.

Totally unacceptable.
It's somewhat ironic that the services that cannot have DOO are the ones being royally f***ed.
Doesn't kick in until next week, but they're already knackered. Not sure a single Soton - Brighton train ran on Saturday.

Noticed this changed recently when I tried to get that same train. It appears that the other service no longer stops at West Worthing so you have to go to Worthing, Assume it must have changed when the summer timetable came in but was not highlighted. With the fast train from Portsmouth also not stopping at West Worthing it leaves quite a big gap in services now. Still, no services means that you don't need those pesky station staff so more savings.
Interestingly I tweeted Southern and they said it was cancelled, staff shortages etc.
I asked why it wasn't even showing as cancelled on the boards or national rail and they said they had to manually cancel it due to a problem? Apparently I can delay repay it

I'm driving to Pompey early on Thursday so if that will help you out? You can get another train from there.
So GTR and the RMT are up in front of the Parliamentary Select Committee for transport. Just hope Mick Cash doesn't get their backs up by using hyperbolic language. I'm massively on his side, but he needs to dial it in a bit.

Does anyone know what time the new timetable is released today?

Knowing Southern there will be a delay and it will be tomorrow
If they cancel the train the day before they have stopped showing them. Like they never existed. That way they don't have too many blue bars on their screen showing cancelled trains.
