The UK is full of cynics - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-41079826

[WTFH]

In the old days they use to sack people when they screwed up engineering works which is why they never screwed them up....

Now they promote them to management

Want to take bets on when Waterloo is back up and working without delays due to this work?

Next month "October" or next month "Friday"?

It runs until Thursday so I'm really hopeful I can be back on the train next month.

How did I guess?

Well if South Western Railway are as good as Great Western Railway then you need to extend your pass for Clientco carpark.

How did I guess?

Anyone (TFL contractors) have any inside info on if this is going to finish on schedule or is it going out to the right - and if so by how much?

Need to know whether to get a season ticket for Sept or extend pass for clientco car park.

Thanks.

If ever there was a question which didn't need asking...
Wifey had a lucky escape, her am meeting in the Westminster area got cancelled. I've got to be in town on Thursday, what time tomorrow do you reckon I realistically need to set off?

A Network Rail spokesman said: "During the process of testing the complex signalling, we identified an issue in this safety-critical system which we are working to resolve.

"This will take some time to fix and a small number of early passenger trains may be delayed as a result.

"We are working hard to minimise delays to passengers, but safely is our number one priority."

And this is bollox, there were queues to get into some stations.

Who'd 've thunk it?

Thats what she told you anyway....

she said she would at be at my place by 5 , she got there at 3:30. Apparently Brillo was quicker than expected.

Just undergoing final testing with the longer trains....

Don't joke that's the truth

It's due to finish on Monday:

This summer, between 5 and 28 August inclusive, fewer South Western Railway services will run while work starts to extend platforms at London Waterloo

However I'm not brimming with confidence that it won't overrun. I'll see how it is on Tuesday.

See you next Tuesday...

Just undergoing final testing with the longer trains....

Friday is going to be particularly bad. Four more platforms being closed.

I bought a first class season this month at a cost of nearly a thousand quid so at least I would be delayed in comfort.
