I know a few of you travel first class, just to let you know that there was no first class at all on southern last night from about 16.15 until end of service, so you know for added delay repay.
It was 4 units with ripped off shoes. From what a driver told me they were dumped for a while in the sussex side of victoria which was then closed off.
A fun night, managed to work a train from Three Bridges to London Bridge, (could not get to Horsham to pick it up, so it ran empties to TBD), and we arrived only 3 mins late. Best run ever into London Bridge. Then waited to work the 16.57 to Littlehampton, which was cancelled at 16.53, no driver and no stock, backed up another conductor on a train to Gatwick, then managed to catch a TL back to Brighton. Journey time LBG to BTN, 2.20. As it was now 19.30 and there was no way I could even get close to littlehampton to work the 18.53 back. Due in Brighton 19.48, so sat round, then went home as it was my home time.
Its not often we get a Code Black.
