Waterloo This Afternoon
There are absolutely no trains going either way through Vauxhall at the
moment, 15.55. There is one outbound Eurostar which has stook at signals for about 10 minutes now. kevin |

You know the ad, by now you would be, well sitting in Vauxhall. Kevin |

It's unheard-of to get on a plane and then be stuck on the tarmac at Heathrow for 45 minutes. Imagine the furore if that were to happen! What's that, Skippy? "Loads of flights get stuck on the tarmac awaiting take-off, and the average delay on short-haul flights is far greater than the average delay on intercity trains"? Wash your mouth out with soap, Skippy: we'll have none of that Commie train-loving talk round here... -- John Band |

According to SWT website its due a lightening strike on signal cabling so your guess is probably as good as anyone's! |

TfL at 17:37 are advising passengers to travel to Clapham Junction, presumably from Victoria. No trains Waterloo-Clapham Junction. Waterloo & City Line also suspended due to power failure after lightning strike. Met & Jubilee suffering minor delays due to lightning strike at Finchley Road. Well, we do need the rain! -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |
