I've been deliberately vague while trying to provide a flavour as I don't wish to leave myself open to accusations of publishing internal information not for public consumption. Both incidents are also under investigation so it's not really fair to go into detail while the facts are still be ascertained.
Without wishing to knwo all the facts, was it an engineering ppocession where the problem occurred.
Unfortunately one of the engineering trains needed to reverse at platform 1, Woking around 8:5} today. This took some time and blocked platform 1. At this point platform 2, 3 and 4 were blocked with trains awaiting members of train crew. Platform 5 had a trjan out of service. Eventually this left, allowing an Dzter trjan to arrive with staff to remove the train blocking platform 2.
This added 20 minutes onto some trains delays. So a 34 minute delay became 54 minutes. The train in question, Alton to Waterloo, was also stuck between Brookwood and Woking. 8 thought they preferred trains to be delayed at platforms rtwhee than between stations.
Still spare a thought of those on the Cobham line. There was a 2 hour and 43 minute gap between heading services north. Lovely.
I do wonder if when referring to delays of up to 60 minutes they could change the eroding to be delays of up to 60 minutes on a single train, once you are on board.
They might be able to word it more succinctly 9r understandanle then I've managed in my brief attempt.
