Southern Region Plan to Stop Fans Getting to Craven Cottage

[Southcoastffc]

Irrespective of Strikes, Southern Region's so called 'service' is truly abysmal.  Again, we're stuffed for a home game, this time v Preston. B***ards

Saturday 4 March 2017

All day

Services between Clapham Junction and Watford Junction / Milton Keynes will not run.

Trains will be unable to call at stations between Purley and Horley. Replacement buses will operate calling at intermediate stations.

Buses will replace trains between Brighton and Littlehampton.

Late evening: 
Trains between London and Eastbourne / Ore will be diverted via Brighton. Replacement buses will operate between Haywards Heath and Lewes via Plumpton.

I'm absolutely sick of trains, they used to be a great way to travel.  Received my Southern Rail compensation refund yesterday, less than 10% of my season ticket for untold stress & grief - what an insult.

We should take a leaf out of the German's book. I have used Deutsche Bahn many times over there and not once has a service ever been delayed or cancelled.

Maybe in the past, but friends who travel regularly use Deutsche Bahn are always saying how poor the service is these days and how they are regularly late for business due to delays and cancellation.

Maybe I was lucky then!

Haha!! Their shiny, nationalised railways are helped along by the money they cream off from 'our' tatty apology for a railway.
Deutsche Bahn owns Arriva who run: Arriva Wales, Cross Country, Chiltern, London Overground, Grand Central, Northern plus the major freight operator DB Cargo.

Mince's favourite Abellio is wholly owned by Nederlandse Spoorwegen, the Dutch nationalised railway. They also run Scotrail and are part owners of Merseyrail.

Just to complete the 'privatisation' picture, Govia, who run (or try to) Southern, Southeastern, Thameslink, Great Northern and London Midland, is 35% owned by French nationalised raiway SNCF.
