    Storm Henk travel disruption 02/01/24

    Issuing "Do Not Travel" warnings after everyone has got to work, and just before they start their evening commutes, often with no alternative routes, is rather farcical.

    Storm Henk travel disruption 02/01/24

    Southeastern looks to be slowly but surely falling apart - multiple trees fallen at Wadhurst blocking the Hastings line, tree also looks to be on the line at Petts Wood blocking the SE main line

    New toilets at London Bridge

    Toilets will be located before the gateline on Stainer St, hoardings for the work are already up.

    Question about train length

    This will be a mistake. Most Maidstone East services run as 8 coaches.

    Class 465/466 Ramsgate summer special

    How are these crewed, out of interest? Presumably a driver/guard change somewhere along the route, especially if the driver takes it in ECS from Gillingham before the service down to the coast?

    London Bridge - Track Fire Outside Station

    Not seen this on the forum, forgive me if I’ve missed it, but looks like a track fire outside London Bridge last night. SE reckon P 6 & 7 will be shut until Sunday due to cable damage, etc...

    What does this button do, seen at P1 Ilkley?

    Yes London Bridge has key switches for RA/CD on a panel with TRTS

    St Pancras Departure Boards

    Agree re:escalator & arrow comments, guess it wouldn't take too long for new graphics to be thrown onto the screen if this did cause trouble though

    Signalling problems at Cannon Street

    Appears to be a recurring issue at Cannon Street, Southeastern have had a 'signalling problem' there happen almost every day for a week or so. Anyone have any insight as to what's going on?

    Thameslink to Maidstone East

    What is the rationale behind Maidstone East - Charing X services on SE? They were only brought back in the recent timetable, was the local area crying out for a link to London other than Victoria?

    Southeastern 465/9

    Thankfully, the removal of first class doesn't appear to have been especially well publicised - my commute this morning had an empty first class section (besides yours truly), and a standing room only 'standard class' area.

    465912 is back and has regen / rheostatic braking!

    Confusion may have arisen as on RTT (& similar sites) services operated by 465s are ‘timed for 90mph‘, but the trains are only permitted to do 75

    Bad day on SouthEastern 23/12

    Southeastern has been a shambles since the new timetable on 11 Dec, though admittedly none of it can be blamed on that. Snow absolutely paralysed the network, then strikes did the same, followed by this week being plagued by infrastructure problems (signal issues at Charing X & Cannon St...

    It appears all TVMs on SWR are broken.

    The railway is not helping itself at this point.

    Southeastern shutting down at 15:00 on Xmas eve, last trains from London will presumably be much earlier than that
