The 8.45am to LB is always late

[sandnot]

Why oh why is this train always late! different excuse each day have uesd - alas only used 3 times this week

sorry for the rant, but also see the other passengers face expressions!

[ratty]

Means you can stay in bed a bit later!!

The 8.45am? Every day?

Generally speaking the earlier trains (pre 8am) are more timely as the log jam effect has yet to set in. You also get a seat and it's a far nicer experience all round.

Mix it up a bit perhaps?

... and if you are trying to get the 8.50 or 8.55 connection to Victoria at Peckham Rye it's doubley annoying (and a 20 minute wait)

[Salsie]

I just stay on the bus to Denmark Hill to get to Victoria so you dont have to worry about connections....

[KidKruger]

8.45 am ?

Most self-respecting pros are well into their working day by then.

You're lucky you're not lamenting the 0609 train's times.

Clearly you're om the afternoon shift.

Or just working part-time.

Clearly KK is just jealous.

So am I.

[KidKruger]

In a nutshell Jeremy.

[red devil]

Try positive thinking...convince yourself it's the 08.59 arriving early

[KidKruger]

or the 1837 home to ED ...

[civilservant]

my beef is the huge gap between the 9:04 and the 9:21

after getting the kid to school for 9, I have to loiter on the platform at ED for absolutely minutes!

my dream train scenario is that the 8:45 would run 20 minutes late every day...

True KK. The earlier trains have more than their fair share of well tailored execs and it gets less career orientated towards 9am - peaking at 8.45 for the bare minimum 9-5'ers. But go past 9am and you get the creatives. The ad men, jingle writers and wacky spec's who get to start at 9.30 /10am after a Starbucks latte.

I envy their cargo pants.

You have to be on the bus Salsie to stay on it!

sorry am I creative type, but oversleeping in the last couple of weeks and missing the 8.33 buy a couple of mins!

Me thinks I need to buy another alarm clock!
