Was so pissed off about the routine daily cancellations and delays that I was considering organising a picket the other day.

Took me nearly 2 hours to get home the other night when they cancelled my train off Victoria - again. Stupidly, I forgot I could have got the train to Crystal Palace and then come round to Sydenham on the Overground. Won't make that mistake again in a hurry: it must be about the only part of Southeastern's network where they simply run the trains up and down one route, so if they cancel a down train then the following up train will have to be cancelled as well, which means you can't go down to Shortlands/Bromley South and then come back up again.

Didn't see this post before I posted a new topic. TFL is taking it over in 2018/9.
