First of the week.

Not to bad, first late train of the week, only 3 minutes.

Delays again...

This time as I'm working to late shift my train has been delayed due to a earlier broken down train, so 9 minutes late.

Late again, fire on the London Bridge route.

Looks like I'm going to be late again due to a fire further down the line, so I couldn't get the connecting train. That can't be helped but as there is no alternative trains I'm going to have to get a tram to the tube. So I have to swipe out else get a fullp charge later and it bloody charges me 1.40 to stand and see my train is cancelled. Oh well on the tube now.

Un-eventfull day.

Wow, I manage to travel to and from work today and there was not one issue with the train, all where on time and nothing cancelled.  Lets hope the same for the rest of the week.

Continued Delays

Suprise, suprise my train is delayed and judging by the continued 'We are sorry to announce' so are all trains due to the signal problems I had this morning. So hopefully it will stick to the 5 minute delay...

First post and first pain.

Today I had a double joy to experience, stood at the station my First Capital Connect train was unusually scheduled to arrive on time 9.21, but before that was a late train to somewhere else. It pulled in at the station and then promptly stopped working, to which it seems that the driver try to restart it a number of times.  When he did get it going it meant my following train got delayed, only 4 minutes so I wasn't to worried.
Little did I know that when I got to Herne Hill my train would be cancelled due to a points failure, so no trains where running north, and to make it worse the only train I could get from there was to Victoria.  So I stood in the cold and watched that train arrive 5 minutes late too, go to Victoria and had to pay extra to get on the tube to get to where my original train would have dropped me off.
So only 45 minutes late for work today, lets home tonight is easier.
