Another signalling problem for South West Trains. This one is around Clapham Junction.
Unfortunately when I checked the 8.02 Woking to Waterloo was on time but when I arrived into Woking, from Guildford, it was now 18 minutes late.
If only they would allow National Rail Enquiries to automatically work out the delays based on late arrivals. I should really check the arrivals more often.
As was the case the other night, nothing on NRE about the problems. Let's hope SWT put something up there this time.
Now on 8.05 which must hang around at West Byfleet for 8 minutes because the timetable says so, even though the 8.02 was cancelled and we will get delayed further up the line!
They do sometimes cancel trains and stops when running late but how about converting this to the 8.02 and then making the delayed 8.02, the service which stops at Byfleet and New Haw. I've suggested this before on here but not to SWT because I wouldn't know who to contact. Not sure if customer services would pass my suggestion to the right department or person who puts in place emergency timetable changes.
UPDATE: They have announced the problems online, unfortunately it is and was only displaying on the Clapham Junction online departure board, of those I have saved in my APP. I think because it's at Queens Town Road and trains that head north through Earlsfield don't stop there, it isn't displaying on many of the other online departure boards.
Not having much time this morning and only seeing 2 trains listed late at one point, I didn't check the Clapham Junction departure board. I should have done then I might have taken an alternative route to work.
They are also doing their thing of apologising for trains that are running 3 minutes late when you go into the individual train running details, whilst saying nothing against trains running 18 or more minutes late.
