Cheers, hopefully I will be off for Christmas by then but feel sorry for the poor b*ggers that are not as last week was a pain.

was it THAT bad last week?

Probably depends on your circumstance.

Was it that bad? Well, doing an extended trip morning and evening every day was bad enough but to top it all up, there was yet another signal failure in the Sydenham area on thursday and some of us got left at Canada water without much information. Journey home ended up taking over 1h30. Good thing I did not have to pick up my daughter.

I get that it's all necessary but the problems yesterday started really grating with me.

Last week... overground worked fine for me and wasn't too crowded. But the trains into Blackfriars/Elephant were ridiculous.

Buses were much more crowded and you sometimes had to watch a few go by.

What time was this?

I normally get the 8.40 (no longer alas) to LB, which means leaving the house at 08.30. Last week I left the house about 20 mins earlier than normal and walked to Lordship Lane to catch the 40 bus. None was remotely full (this was the Heber Road stop) and I arrived at LB pretty much on time. Yes, it took a bit longer but it wasn't remotely bad.
