Friday 22nd January, 2010

Good news and bad news this morning.

Good news: the first train on the departure board is the 08.10 to Bedford, which is expected on time.

Bad news: (i) I’m not going to Bedford, (ii) it is now 8.16, and (iii) every other train on the board is delayed.

Normal service has most definitely been resumed. It’s anyone’s guess what train is coming next. A closer inspection of the board shows not only that all of the southbound trains delayed, but also that many of them are expected to arrive at the same time. Should be interesting.

FCC make no attempt to provide an excuse for this morning’s chaos, although there is a hint of severe drizzle in the air so perhaps they think it should be self evident.

At least there are trains running. I jump on the first one through and treat myself to a seat in the first class section.

Still, you couldn’t wish for a better day for FCC to comprehensively screw up following Lord A’s threat that they had until the end of this week to shape up or face the full force of his wrath. Wonder what that will amount to.
