Ha ha. You just won't let it lie will you. Maybe I don't have a clue how they operate, nothing I can influence either. I can only go on what I see, and I see reguarly. The fact is, the line is closed. It's their responsibility, they failed. End of.

There are quite a few fields around, how about there? I assume a usual Monday for you drivers sitting in some portacabin, scratching your bollocks, moaning about Thatcher watching Trisha whilst drinking endless cups of tea on full pay. If I was in charge you would all be out there with mop and...

Oh dear. And you must have a job on the railway, so dull, not nice and a complete lack of understanding of a customer service driven and commercial environment. If we are making assumptions....

We could argue all night. I see it as failure, you see it as they've done everything they can. Either way, the trains won't run tomorrow.

I don't have any inside knowledge for sure, however having commuted for 10 years I am fully aware of their working practices - inept would be the best way of describing it, I couldn't comment if they try hard - always seem be standing around smoking fags in gangs of about 20 when I go past them...

I don't doubt they have tried and I don't doubt the response was late and probably did not reflect the seriousness of the situation as this is the usual way both Southern and Network Rail operate. And if they have tried "everything" possible then very well done, but they've still failed, and...

Brilliant. They have eclipsed themselves this time, correct me if I'm wrong but the Brighton mainline is one of the busiest in the country? Surely, surely there should some sort of urgency/prioritisation to pump the water - you cannot tell me resources couldn't of been diverted to stave off...
