First Capital Connect are saying this:

and this .....

"Thameslink route service alterations: there is a shortage of
available trains as a result of a fault which means some services on
the Thameslink route are only 4 carriages long instead of 8.
Additional stops have also been put in to other services to relieve
crowding. The problem will be rectified soon, meanwhile we apologise
for the inconvenience this is causing customers."

Handy when the tubes are erm down the tubes.


That was happening Monday as well. Looks like the shortage of class
377/5 units is starting to catch up with them!!

I've also just seen this on the National Rail website:

"London Overground and Southern services will not call at Wembley
Central or North Wembley stations on Wednesday 10 June from
approximately 18:00. A normal service is expected to run at all other
times."

So it looks there there is a slight shortage of station staff in the
evening. I notice that the Bakerloo north of Queens Park finished
early tonight (from about 5pm), does this mean that the line is a 'hot-
bed' of RMT activists? As I write this (21.40), only the Northern and
Piccadilly are still running a 'good service'
