I had planned to pop up to London to see the fireworks on the Thames

the
main line over the river and reduced my local service to hourly.

Well done Network Rail!

They can't plan for every event. Whatever weekend they pick to do the
engineering work, there's always going to be some fairly large
gathering of people somewhere in the capital.

Having had to plan engineering works in the past, one of the first things
you do is to check what else is happening! And it's a damn site easier these
days with the internet.

And this wasn't just Thames festival day, it was also Open House weekend
plus some ITV event - not just your average weekend and certainly not the
day to close down the most conveniently situated London terminal.

This was just sloppy and incompetent.
