No, 10 years of commuting has made me loathe SWT with a passion.
You think that every person in the country all travel into work at the same time of day do you?Ok, my apologies for not being blisteringly clear that I was talking about commuting at commuting time on the commuting thread.
He said that nearly a month ago. Your facepalm is tardy.You think that every person in the country all travel into work at the same time of day do you?

As far as I understand, none of the problems at Waterloo - the points failures, the derailed train - have been SWT's fault. If anyone, it is the nationalised Network Rail which has been responsible. Not a very clear case really.Half of Waterloo closed for the month, the other half shut cos SWT are shit, they are losing their franchise and don't care any more. A clearer case for re-nationalisation it is harder to imagine.

Either way,it'll be heapsa money, so I think trains will be back to normal tuesday, but maybe weekend closures to finish off any unfinished business

At your age your should be firmly in the middle of a mid-life crisis, so rather than getting a puny bicycle, I would suggest you get a motorbike. Aim for something really big & massively powerful - way more than you can realistically handle.Yesterday I tried the 12km cycle to work on a hired bike. Was surprised at how easy it was. Bit sore today but time to get a bike I think.

Have you tried putting salt on them? I know it works for slugs, and they're very annoying too...There are loads of screaming horrible children on the train.

And now my train home is cancelled.First day back from holiday.
Not only are there no Waterloo trains (of course) but the Victoria train is late and, more seriously, half length. At Dorking, it is already standing room only. What will it be like by the time it gets to Victoria in an hour?
Welcome back kabbes to the commute.
And now my train home is cancelled.
Aren't our trains just grand?
