trains up the spout this morning

[richpickings]

Be warned a trackside fire at selhurst is causing severe delays this morning into LB. I have just waited 20 mins for a train (whilst about 4 were diverted down the fast track). Not a single announcement from Southern - so I was unable to inform work exactly when I would make the 9.30 meeting. Thanks for nothing Southern! I don't blame you for the delay but I do blame you for abandoning your customers on the platform without information.
