Default No Trains Today

We have officially joined the third world.

After a cold night and about half an inch of snow I went to Palmers Green
Station this morning to get my train to work. Did I find a slight delay on
the arrivals board. Or a guy in uniform telling everyone when a train
might arrive.

No !! I found the door closed and a piece of A4 copy paper sellotaped to
the door with "No Trains Here Today" scribbled on it in marker pen.

What a bloody useless shower First Capital Connect are !!


According to http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/servic...s/cleared.html
the problems were "overhead wire problems in the Hertford North area", so of
course down to network Rail, not FCC, but I agree that the station operators
should have given more information, including reference to the replacement
bus service. I see that there are delays today, for the same reason.
