Got the first train to EC and picked up a delayed train from Victoria. I reckon I was about 15 mins in front of you all the way down.

Get these driverless cars sorted and going up and down the motorways at 300mph, and we won't need the bloody trains any more!
Best bit is the 'Revenge of the South'!
Labour said pre election that it would cancel desperately needed road improvements in the south (to target more spending in their northern heartlands). Now we have Tories cancelling investment in the rail improvements needed to create the 'northern powerhouse', but continuing to aim for a new A27 down here as demonstrated by the 'road census' thread. Marvellous scenes, remember what side your bread is buttered on folks!

Incredible! How the hell do they manage that when they knew FOUR HOURS earlier that they didn't have the staff?? What a complete an utter SHAMBLES.

The train seemed quite quiet. With about 5 minutes to the scheduled departure, I was the only one sitting in the four seats at one table and the table opposite also only had one person seated there. By the time the train was due to leave, all seats were taken, but it still felt quieter than normal.
The driver then asked for the conductor over the tannoy on 2 or 3 occasions. I then noticed the electronic display on the platform had changed to 'cancelled' which was an ominous sign. The driver then confirmed this a minute or two later. The chap opposite me didn't take it well, absolutely clattering the table before dashing off.
