Derailment at Waterloo

[devon_metro]

Train services at London Waterloo are being disrupted due to a derailed train.
Short notice alterations, cancellations and delays can be expected.

This problem affects suburban services to and from London Waterloo to Chessington, Epsom, Dorking, Guildford, Hampton Court, Kingston, Shepperton and Woking

That'll be something on the p1-p4 area.

"1D54 17.54 Dorking - Waterloo has just derailed entering platform 2 at Waterloo."

Looks like your not doing your job properly

*runs for cover*

David, first of all find an SWT route map. Then look up Portchester, Netley and Hedge End. These are 3 points of a triangle and everything within the triangle is maintained by my gang, everything outside isn't
Also, everywhere London side of Raynes Park is red zone prohibited, which means you can't work out there when trains are running

 

[David]

Hold on Slash, I was trying to make a quick joke. Obviously it failed. Anyway, sorry if I offended you.

Back on topic now....

Plats 1 - 6 blocked. Rear unit of an 8 car going into Waterloo decided to go into another platform. Stock 8.455 (non refurbed set).

Copied from Gabba Gabba Hey's post on wnxx forums.

 

[Tom]

Not sure how 1 - 6 is blocked... 1 - 4 yes, for 6 & 5 to be blocked 7 would be as well!

Did it derail due to faulty points?

17.35 Dorking - Waterloo, apparently formed of 455s numbers 5905 (leading) and 5918.

Spooky coincidence that 5905 was also involved in a derailment back in September.... hock:

Well either they didn't get it re railed last night, or they didn't have time and resources to fix the track, because National Rail Enquiries says to expect disruption all day today

 

[Tom]

I've heard that the wheels are locked in the point blades which have thrown back to "normal"
