F*cking nightmare of a bastard commute

[Puddy_Tat]

What is this "work" of which you speak?

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Most large engineering contracts have some form of 'remediation' clause, where the contractor has to put the problems right first. If still not resolved there may be a further chance or they may then proceed to dispute resolution.

Does beg some questions about installation and commissioning checks but if it's a part or subsystem bought in from a third party that's not up to standard the investigation to find out what has gone wrong could be lengthy and complex (for example there are known cases in my industry of substandard parts with paperwork falsified quality/sign off paperwork), hence the 'not being sued yet'.

They should sue them anyway and put the company directors in the stocks on the station concourse simply because it pisses me off every day.

Still some problems in the south from yesterday it says on the service disruption page - Gatwick Express and Southern services. Good luck to anyone travelling on those routes today.

"So we meet again," Southern tells commuters

Southwest Trains going for a full house this week...

What the fuck is going on with trains in that region this week! Piss up and brewery.

That did make me laugh when I saw it.

Due in Waterloo in 15 minutes, however to my right is a field full of horses, two of whom are having a shag. Suspect we may be late. Again.

Are all the passengers perving at the horny horses?

 

[Puddy_Tat]

problems reported at surbiton and waterloo this morning.

don't think delays caused by shagging horses

 

[magneze]

All fucked. Should have stayed in bed.

A number of us had a giggle, but we're generally too shocked at SWT's ability to fuck up our day to get too carried away with it.

Just crawled through Wimbledon, supposed to arrive in Waterloo at 0833, now 0843, reckon on another 20 minutes at least.

Although the guard has somewhat optimistically just apologised for us running "approximately 8 minutes late."

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

45 minutes late on a 45 minute journey. Impressive level of shitness there.

 

[magneze]

Got bus at Kingston. Driver on the wrong bus. Back to Kingston. FFS.

This is what happened this morning...

The first incident happened at approximately 0610 this morning when signalling equipment at a critical junction between Woking and Surbiton became faulty and trains were unable to run through the affected area.

At 0716 train crew on a service at Teddington reported problems with the train’s alternator, which meant the train could not continue to London Waterloo. While the crew were moving the train out of the way, it delayed trains behind.

At 0739, a fault then affected the signalling equipment at London Waterloo, meaning train services were unable to enter or leave platforms 8 – 14.


Train wankers.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Oh they're taking the fucking piss out of me now...

I was nearly late for an exam in London due to this this morning. It was awful. I cried. Other passengers on the train had to give me tissues when I started weeping into my scarf.

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

I was quite happy snotting all over my scarf tbf, they didn't realise I have low standards. It's pretty much what a scarf is for imo. But very lovely of them.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

All fucked.

the horses or the trains?

 

[Puddy_Tat]

and aaaargh.

leaves on the line at arsecot, unfortunately with the rest of the tree attached.

tickets being accepted via paddington.

bakerloo line has ceased functioning.

hmph

I just do not get it with Waterloo disruption ? - they never get the service back after disruption (S++t happens) , but in most places (says the 36 years in the industry dinosaur) - the am is f++ed , and the afternoon shift pulls it back - mostly.

Take the meltdown at Clapham on Southern last week - 2 tracks back at 1500 , all lines at 1610 - they managed to scrape a "reasonable" service and got people home with 9 trains knackered at VC (the fault being entirely Network Rail) - just glad I am retiring in September.

Perhaps ride a horse home?

Came across 2 rascist chav girls on the Jubilee Line, who had an issue with me making comment on one "saving a seat" for the other. Truly vile girls, who couldnt have been more than 20 years old. Honestly, so much temptation to knock one of them out, but didnt rise to the bait, as they were clearly trying to cause some kind of drama from when they got on the train. I was VERY tempted though and if the train didnt arrive at my stop at that point, it could have gone completely differently.
