| NXEA website crashed again. Has the slight snow and ice caused any problems to Liverpool St service this am? |

Well I'm on just such a train currently. All fine till tottenham hale but we've been crawling along since then. Congestion St hackney downs was the announcement.
I'm tempted to do a Reggie Perrin impersonation when I arrive at work. But as they're all young they won't appreciate it. |

While there do appear to be problems today, credit to them that I was out in London Mon & Tue night, with trains running perfectly.
(But glad I'm not doing it this morning) |

Also waited for 1 hour at Hackney. Turned around - we have now been kicked off at Broxbourne and have been waiting 45 mins for replacement bus.
Sorry Alec but NXEA are a joke. Unlike Surrey we have not had heavy snow at all. |

| They now have buses between Broxbourne and stations on the branch "due to poor weather conditions". Everything seemed fine this morning. Weirdly, National Rail Enquiries website aren't reporting any delays. |

Am I in a parallel universe? I was on this train and it didn't arrive at LST until 9.44 instead of 9.02 due to signal failures at Hackney Downs!
Also I came home on the 16.12 without any problems - no buses, no snow, no problems (unusually)!

Yes my journey in was delayed and my return journey was lucky dip of catching a train that got me to Broxbourne.
Then a wait with the display screens showing the Hert East train depart time slipping minute by minute to match the actual time.
No station staff. Then the train came in on the wrong platform with the display board showing a different destination.
And at the same time I'm talking to my wife on the phone who's looking at the "live" departure boards that are just plain wrong.
I've had a number of occasions when I've been at Liverpool street watching the departure boards and the "live" online departure boards saying everything is fine.
Completely hopeless.

Not smug New Boy. Surely good to get the good news stories as well as the bad?
Got home no probs thanks. Went for the 7.55 from Tottenham Hale (I avoid Liverpool St thank goodness), arrived there at 7.58 resigned to waiting 30 mins for the next train, but was delighted to discover that it was running 5 mins late! Dream journey! |
