Train Problems - Clayton Tunnel

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Fingers crossed it hit the FCC CEO.

Mention in despatches to Southerns as well.

I used my vouchers to pay for away game travel. This year I will use them towards the ANALLY RAPING PRICE of an annual season ticket.

Delay Repay.

Dear Neal Lawson, one of your clapped old units, have once again (4th time this year) brought the Brighton mainline to a standstill.

I hear Magnus Volk has some more modern type rolling stock you can use.

Lot's of love Timmy.

To be fair you are not wrong.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Fyi - am on planned train, left on time, no mention of any probs ........ Yet

reports were that the train had hit something in the tunnel, how can that be a rolling stock problem, could have been a southern 377 unit still would have had same problem.

You're a passenger on the train - you'll be the last to know

Wondering if my train will turn up just after 6...

I'm sure glad I wasn't waiting for the Hastings service that just went straight through the station without stopping,

Useless arseholes.

211 years! There you go - out of date rolling stock.

With twitter you're the first to know something, but not everything. All you see is one piece of the jigsaw. The operating companies keep the complete picture to themselves and in the case of FCC I think they do so deliberately. It's depressing that they treat staff with as much contempt as passengers - the difference is that staff can do something about it. So why don't you? Start applying some pressure upwards.

Train vouchers.

You have just had a shit time on our trains, here's some vouchers for another shit time. Nice.

It reminds me of the "First prize is a ticket to see Crystal Palace, Second prize is two tickets." gag.

Did it run out of coal?

Unbelievable today, got chucked of the 1723 Victoria to Littlehampton and had to catch the 17:32 to Brighton so changed at Haywards Heath and the 17:17 arrived emty and started from there.

In the words of Victor Meldrew - I don't believe it

Blimey. I can almost hear the indignant "Don't you know WHO I AM? from here.

I'm sure the tight twunt has already pencilled a note into his diary to ensure he claims back the 3p tax he's expected to pay for that particular day of free train travel.

Train vouchers. As I have a season ticket they are useless to me. However, as much as they say on the back of them "These cannot be exchanged for cash", they can, and I have done so, and Southern have confirmed that you should be able to.

Why are they useless? Save them up and when you renew use them.
