Lois Pelecanos pointed out that it was ‘bad enough before 10.30pm yesterday.’

“The 1916 from Victoria took 125 mins to reach Eastbourne and we stood in an overcrowded carriage for all but 15 mins of the journey.”

Chris Maitland said that Monday evening was pretty poor too; ‘over 2.5 hours for a normal hour journey’.

Robert Clare was a bit more forgiving - “Can’t blame Govia Thameslink for signal failures.”
