Let's hope they can fix it before it screws up the entire rail network for this evening

Not really

Papa Lazarou · Apr 19, 2016

Yes, in it's true sense of the word, unbelievable is one of the last words I'd use to describe this.

Inevitable is a good one.

Business as usual is probably closer though !

Well there's a surprise

Wouldn't happen in Germany

National Rail website says "delays expected until 15:00". How much faith do we put in them having it cleared in the next 45 minutes......?

They need to sort BML2 out, then close BML1 almost entirely, except for local services, rebuild it from scratch.

Pretty much the only option at this point, and it'll never happen.

We need a monorail

Tom Hark Preston Park · Apr 19, 2016

How many years, if not decades, have points failures in the Croydon area been wheeled out as an excuse now?

A genuine bona-fide electrified six-car monorail?

beorhthelm · Apr 19, 2016

not being announced on the Southern site and the National rail notes delays East Croydon to Redhill - so it probably on the slow line.

Unless Croydon and their rusty points get a much needed transfer to the Bundesliga

Currently on a southbound Thameslink service on my way to Btn, due in at East Croydon at 15:19. Nothing mentioned on the train so far. Means nothing, I know.

I'll post what happens on this thread...
