Similar problems on Weymouth to London line. All trains terminating at Basingstoke due to train on fire at West Byfleet!

This make me laugh
So the Brighton to Bedford train no longer stops at Brighton or Bedford, in fact it looks to me like its Haywards Heath to City Thamslink only

something clever
It's when a train breaks down that the problems really arise. Totally buggers up everything, especially south of 3 bridges

Pretty chaotic this morning: I grabbed a Victoria train which seemed to be one of very few making it anywhere northwards out of Brighton. It was heaving though: I blagged a seat eventually but most didn't. Roll on this evening.
My missus in Worthing just rang me to say she`d had a good six inches.

was it full of cheerful , smiling , blitz spirit tossers ?
The ones who had seats seemed a lot happier than the ones who were stood up, in the freezing cold (no heater) as the train stood there for 45 f***ing minutes with nobody telling us what the bloody hell was wrong.

more like Norway/ Switzerland/ Canada etc"?

now now edna - they're entitled to an opinion and when the coast road snarls up at 7.00am and a lack of gritting this morning they may have a point.
many just want to be like Italy/france rather than scandinavian, north american countries

A different kind of pasty
Lots of fun this morning.

I was stuck on the train that broke down just south of Burgess Hill, wasn't too bad, with driver keeping us informed of what was happening. Got to Hassocks to find that the train in front had also broken down.
The problem was that ice had become compacted on the conductor rail and so the train couldn't move without the train's electricity current tripping.
