Seems like Southeastern aren't having much luck tonight because of the heavy snow and ice, with no replacement buses or taxis. No trains from London Bridge, Hastings line is blocked at Tonbridge and quite a few trains are heavily delayed & apparently some metro trains are stranded in the snow...

From: https://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/17804722.weymouth---london-waterloo-rail-company-named-poll-uk-39-s-worst/?ref=twtrec GTR gets top three, with SWR and then Northern, I thought southern had improved and wouldn't be feathered, let alone number 1... Do you agree with this? 72% negative is...

From this tweet by SWR explaining the reason for the cancellation of this train Seems a bit naughty to blame a person who requires assistance for a train cancellation who has the right to just turn up and go? Especially as the train was late anyway... Even if the passenger had booked ahead...

There are many tweets about network rail staff at Waterloo smoking around the tracks when there has been a fire near the track! Obviously I think these workers work incredibly hard and are entitled to a break and a rest while working especially in a safety critical job like this, so I have...

Today I caught the 2045 (Actually 2046) Thameslink service from London St Pancras to London Bridge (9J61), which was delayed because it was stuck behind the late running 2035 service, which actually left St Pancras at 2044 (9R55) At London Bridge 9J61 sat at a red signal outside the station for...

From this tweet in reply to somebody praising a Southern driver about the announcements: (The first emoji is a rolling eyes emoji and the 2nd one is a thumbs up for those who cannot see it) Having a quick look through this person's tweets implies he is a train driver, hence me wondering if...

From NRE: How on earth can a speed restriction mean all trains are cancelled on that day? This is one of the examples where passengers will complain because the reason seems a little implausible... And there is no ticket acceptance, surely GWR have an obligation to your destination if...

Not a good week for NET - A few trams have failed this week, and today a tram has derailed at Old Market Square, as you can see it went a pretty long way before it stopped, apparently it was doing a turnback manoeuvre, looks like points moved under the tram. The last one was taken from...

From NRE: What happened? Are the RAIB involved? Was the damage quite bad? I assume it's Stewarts Lane as there are a lot of ECS cancellations on RealTimeTrains from there this morning. (Look for non-passenger calls on RTT at Victoria), and they all say the same

From: https://srta.org.uk/wp/posts/2569 It goes without saying this a disgrace that they're setting performance targets after publishing the actual results, as obviously they're going to meet all their targets. Is this true? How can they get away with this?

Seems to be a lot of overrunning engineering work in the south at the moment. What's happened? Seems to be a lot of disruption. Petersfield has had all the trains cancelled for the next 2 hours. Surely Network Rail can't work on this much line in one night? The map implies they are doing...

What happens if I have a non-folding bike, but because of disruption the train that I am on has a short term, unplanned rail replacement bus (like because of OHLE damage, broken down train etc)? Engineering work obviously not as this is planned in advance so you'd have to make your own...

I know there's been a few heated arguments about operational incidents, and I don't want to start one so please be nice! :) Southern's Twitter seems to suggest something happened to the conductor: https://twitter.com/SouthernRailUK/status/862735858742566912 Some of the replies say things...

Can anyone shed any light on what the problem with the road bridge is? According to National Rail: There isn't really anything on the news from what I can find. Surely this means there won't be trains between Norwich and Lowestoft for a while if the bridge is damaged?

My first post, just a confused commuter! Sounds like an absolute nightmare according to National Rail: What on earth happened that could damage over 35 miles of overhead wires? :eek: (apparently the distance from Rugby to Milton Keynes Central is about 35 miles by car)
