Default Waterloo This Afternoon

I arrived at Waterloo today at about 1840. Trains about ten minutes
late, but no spectacular problems.

It was starting to be cleared by then but it was obvious from the Southern
side something was screwed as the CIS displays at Clapham were kaputt and
there were crowds lining the SWT platforms ten deep.

Mind you Victoria had its own problems, after standing for fifteen minutes
past departure time waiting for someone to come and unlock the doors on the
East Grinstead service, the driver failed to show and a couple of thousand
very cheesed off looking passengers were forced to cram onto anything
heading to East Croydon.

The Eastbourne and Horsham services got suddenly very cosy!
