We'll have to see. Will my train crawl through Gatwick in the mornings still (stuck behind an FCC or Gatwick Express that has stopped at Gatwick).
Unless these trains will be diverted to another platform to allow my fast service from Littlehampton to fly through?
It annoys me really. I have taken the next week off work, not to have a break for Christmas, but because the commute to work would be so poor (looking at 2 hours 50 to do a journey that should not be more than a hour).
If Southern had a shred of decency they would offer an extra for days when...
That would sound about right.
If weather is an issue, why not put extra maintenance staff to get job finished on time?
Or would that hurt shareholder profits too much?
Wonder how much these storms will affect the economy?
So many people not going into work and the damage to the properties (rotten time to happen).
Although none of this matters compared to the people killed snd injured in this storm.
Safety first mate. Last time of the storm a month or so ago, first train was not till 1230pm so work gave me they day off. I doubt we will see any trains until 9-10am.
I did not realise the government ordered them to put fares up.
Southern could not really have justified the 2% extra. Could you imagine the backlash given how poor over the past 12 months services had been.
It is just frustrating to keep seeing fares rise, when the service is constantly...
