A shopping trolly was on the track near Epsom today delaying trains as rightly the power had to be switched off. Hopefully they will be able to find out who did it. I assume they do forensics on the trolly once it has been recovered.
As an aside, National Rail Enquiries App said the 16.20 arrive into Guildford, from Waterloo, had arrived 27 minutes late. Real Time Trains said it was still heading to Guildford.
Later on National Rail Enquiries App updated to say it had arrived 41 minutes late. I assume it got confused by another train arriving instead. Whereas in this case Real Time Trains didn't get confused.
I was surprised they didn't terminate the 16.20 at Effingham Junction and run it up the line from there. All stops between Epsom and Guildford were cancelled. Maybe more time was saved by running it fast via Woking. I don't know what route it took to London as its too last minute to appear in Real Time Trains.
It's next working, Guildford to Waterloo via Cobham was cancelled completely. Not even a Guildford and Waterloo only service run.
It then is due to form the 17.46 to Chessington South from Waterloo.
