A few days ago Waterloo was completely closed - letters to Metro
and the Evening Standard complained of a complete lack of
information at the station either from staff or the p.a. system.

Now Victoria is a completely closed. Tweets (in this mornings
Metro) - again state a complete lack of information. And at Clapham
Junction 'arrogant staff' do not help[ to make the crowded
conditions any more bearable. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/...


Something being printed in the Daily Mail proves that it didn't
happen, unless corroborated by an actual news source. Rags that
re-print tweets don't count for ****.

I got nothing but excellent communication from Southern staff about
what was going on. The only complaint I have is that when they
re-routed my train to London Bridge instead, it didn't stop at any
intermediate stations between Streatham Common and London Bridge - it
just sat between them, not moving, for long periods.


How long was your train? The platforms on the route via Peckham are
only 8 coaches long so that might be the reason.
