sydenham hill train delays last few weeks

Post by davegr »

Does anyone know what's been happenening to the trains through Sydenham Hill over the last few weeks?

The 8:07 is constantly delayed by 10 minutes or more if not cancelled each day. The knock on effect means every train behind it is rammed. I've notice they then 'cancel' the 8.10 to Victoria only to see it whizzing straight through without stopping. We all then have to squeeze onto an already packed 8.13.

No explanation from the station and not a word from the usually bad tempered driver about why the trains are late /slow etc.

...and as usual no one to go and speak to and complain at Victoria.

Might be worth going to the next "meet the manager" session next month in the main concourse at Victoria:
