Anyway is there any engineers trains headed for Lewes today

Engineering train times are semi-useless as they usually run early or late or however they feel like.

 

[Daniel s]

To be honest yesterday they were all on time except 66200 which was 10 minutes late

I usually find that those heading towards a works site are normally approximately on time , but those which are ex works site are much more unpredictable. For instance, in my patch trains ex Hoo Junction are normally on time, those heading towards Hoo Junction, less so.
