Indeed, I can work from home too, which is fine for obvious problems in the morning. For me in particular, I have to have lots (and lots ... and lots) of medical appointments - which my work have been extremely reasonable about - so taking even further time out because of trains makes me feel...

Yup. i do wish they provided WiFi though, I think they're about 10 years behind them times on that. I have 3g on my iPad, but the signal is so bad on much of the line. I seem to remember they offer it when they introduced these new trains about 10 years ago. I wouldn't particularly mind if it...

Personally, I don't mind it at all -when things are working. It's a long day, I get up about 4:30 and get home at 6:30, but I love my job. Regarding the actual train journey, I have friends on every train I get, I talk to them, read, sleep, listen to music, use my iPad - it actually gives me...

I claim mine as vouchers and cash them in for, er, cash. I have £40s worth in my wallet and am waiting for about 5 outstanding claims for the last couple of weeks.

06:22 from Shoreham, my usual one. all running fine, I saw no problems.

After my usual complaints, I have to give credit where credit is due, and the guys who did the work to fix the Patcham flooding issue did a fine job. I really thought the line would be out all week, but everything ran normally today - in fact, better, we were on time.

Flying ! Yup, that's the solution.

Still showing at Cancelled on NRE

If you see my post above, NR rail have promised a full service for tomorrow. Mind, if it rains again as planned on Thurs, we could be scr*w*d again.

Network Rail guy on Sky News just now said - referring specifically to Brighton/Patcham - "A full service will be running tomorrow"

The latest message on Southern is indicating that they'll be able to start running trains through the line after 3:30 today, although not a normal service as all the stock will be in the wrong place. Sounds encouraging that it "could" be running in the morning ** although apparently they need...

That was my guess, but the earlier they make the call, the more time people have to plan.

I would think, get the 42 and then a coast-way service from Brighton. Be interesting to know how long that takes.

Ernest - I presume it's impossible to say, but do you reckon these arrangements will be on-going for a number of days, if not the whole week ? More rain due on Thurs, I see.

Sounds like 2.5 hours isn't too bad to me.

I don't work for Southern, so it's not an official response. Anyway, they normally allow you get to get any reasonable route, so they're hardly going to be pernickety in these circumstances.

Yes, they're not going to worry about tickets today, so any route you can take should be alright, I would think.

Everyone knows there are understandable and unavoidable problems, but it's happening almost every day. I've said before that when I started commuting, it was over 3 years before I had a day when I didn't get to work due to trains, but now it's about once a week.

Yet more delay claims going in today. I've not got to work or home on time once this year.
