Thank you for the information. I believe you, but this was not communicated to the public for London Bridge. Maybe it was later on, but not when I left work and had to make a decision where to travel from. Once at London Bridge there was no useful information provided, and the mobile network...

Not forgetting there was no alternate ticket acceptance in place for London Bridge (at the time many went there). So it was just Southern or Thameslink from the core. As there are now half the number of Thameslink trains to Brighton (from the core) in the evening, that has become less appealing.

I think you need to stop bending the facts, when I left work trains were all showing 'on time', with the exception of one earlier cancellation. No reports of the disruption which was obviously occurring. If you are referring to realtimetrains or live departure boards accessed over the mobile...

I would not have worded it quite so bluntly because it is not always 'blatantly obvious'. It is a judgement call where to go based on information provided. The reason the crowding was so bad was that very few trains were departing London Bridge, a fact hidden by the rail companies. You are...

To be fair Sarah, people (like me) have to make a decision on which route to use based on the information available when we leave work. Yet again, in the case of London Bridge this time, it was completely wrong. National Rail Service Disruptions did say delays possible up to 17:00, but Live...

Yes it has. I think it was last year, I was on an FCC train stopped at Elephant and Castle. The driver was out of his cab trying to fix a door problem in the rear (8th) carriage on a 319. A loud announcement came over the train PA asking the driver of <headcode> to contact the signaller (or...

It would take a while for the delays to build up on the Northern end. My 5.31 from Haywards Heath was 30 mins late at London Bridge, but RealTimeTrains shows only 10 mins down at Bedford. It was not until nearer 7am South and 10am North that delays significantly increased, I assume due to...

No it wasn't. I was waiting for the 0531 from Haywards Heath which was delayed by the same 'signalling' problem. So it must have happened at least an hour earlier. It is worrying that even you Rick may be being given misleading information. It was almost amusing that any hint of an apology...

I suffered the same frustrating problem, trying to make 2 delay repay claims via their web site. I was initially using 'Blackfriars' as the origin/destination. When I changed this to 'London Blackfriars' it then submitted without error, and the confirmation email arrived. We will see if the...

I commute from Haywards Heath to London, usually using FCC/Thameslink. The final month or so of FCC was quite bad. There appeared to be an increase in failed trains, leading to the perception they had cut back on the spending required to fix things properly. I did not expect things to...
