24 hour Route 500 now in play also.

This looks like a dude who didn't get too much sleep lol

Whats happening with the 701/5s? Are they built? Where are they stored?

No they arent - Done this journey many a time home to Gatwick - Never seen it that bad though... Some mornings Ive gone and its only a 4 carriage train... Plenty of people trying to get to Gatwick that early etc and lack of space due to luggage. Its stupid...

MERRY XMAS was another I saw...

Its serious Shiz... :( - I genuinely hope everyone recovers and there's no serious injuries etc

From the twittersphere...

X-Sphere says some may include train staff... Yikes... Thoughts to all involved.

There were 3 staff and then suddenly about 6 more turned up. Then Kent Police and then an ambulance. its weird, everytime ive been to Margate, something happened while I was there at the station.

Howdi Folks Went for a Morning / Afternoon at the beach and I saw a lot of trouble @ Margate. Is this normal? I get there is an event this weekend with Dreamland etc But earlier as I was leaving the station, I saw an ambulance after some kids tried to jump the fence over platform 1.

I disagree - We have 4 stations within the boundaries of Crawley Gatwick Airport - 7 Three Bridges - 5 Ifield - 2 Crawley - 2 That's 16 platforms - To be fair, you could even include Horley in that due to its proximity towards Gatwick and between Crawley and Horley there is very little greenspace

We have them on GTR routes too, Most commonly seen at East Croydon Etc

Gets worse when it goes via Lewes, then Brighton due to Engineering Work.
