Why are they useless? Engineering work has to be done and weekends are the best time to do it.

Absolutely correct, but when else can they do works that are paramount to safety.

[Southcoastffc]

I do, of course, understand the safety thing but southern region have an awful, awful, awful record of inability to run a halfway decent service.

I know you love to play devils advocate Alfie but unless you are a regular on Southern Rail you can't possibly know how useless they are. For the last 20 months the whole of the UK has had to endure rail strikes and on top of that they plan engineering weeks during non strike periods.

There's no trams between Wimbledon and Reeves Corner too for another week if folk were going to the District line that way via East Croydon. I was in Croydon today, it' was even more all chaotic than normal round there.

Can't remember the last time they've been running properly.

"Devils advocate" , I just say what I think, if that's wrong then I am sorry.

Booked a parking space near 3 Bridges through JustParking.

Southern rail annual season ticket commuter & I've no complaints with service. Yes there are issues but no more than other networks & the horrendous road system.

Southern are running extra trains on the Arun valley line to link to the coast & along to Brighton.

Yes, I know it's a pain when directly affected but I still believe it's better than the bad press they get.

 Bizzarely, this winter they've stopped running bus replacement buses from Brighton to Three Bridges.  The direct ones were regular, quick and reliable. Apart from the time a rookie driver left Brighton Station and followed signs for Brighton seafront. I had to come down from the top deck and direct him back northwards before he ended up on the pier. I returned to my seat a hero to the Arsenal fans, a couple of Fulham and, most importantly,  my young daughter.

The bad press they get is fully deserved. The public have to put up with strikes, engineering works, late trains, routine cancellations and inflated prices. Whatever happened to customer service ?
