Why have they been absolute GASH for the past 2 months. They were fine in the summer but I can honestly say I haven't taken a single rush hour train (in either direction) that has been on time.

They are f***ing shit - Southern and Capital Connect. And guess what - prices AGAIN go up above the rate of inflation in January. :nono:

It's because train staff are too busy frothing at the mouth about "the darkies".

I restarted commuting on Monday. Already my normal train home (17.14 from Crawley) has been cancelled twice this week (once is today - good job I checked the Southern 'Trains' site). I think this is because they use ex Thameslink / Brighton Express rolling stock for this one single service and it keeps breakinng down. Utterly inexplicable if you ask me.

Redhill to London.

Have to admit it's not been great of late, It's not as if it's major things happening just a combination minor equipment/train failures combined with the leaf fall season. It does'nt help with pikey's keep nicking cables from the railway lines either!

I meant inexplicable why they use old broken down Thameslink stock for the first rush hour train out of Craw-hell-hole

Not very well explained though was it? Or spelled :dunce:

Too true. The 0716 Brighton to Victoria has not arrived on time once in what seems like about a month, and neither has the 1832 back to Brighton in the evening.
