Here we go...

Again, utter f*cking chaos at Stratford.

Trains going nowehere, no information, constant chopping and changing of platforms. It's pathetic.

It all seems to be being caused by a f*cked-up Inter-City which is currently blocking platform 9.

As a result everything going north is stopping at platform 10A. Meaning trains ate blocking back more and more.

A Southend train has just left, 10 minutes late. Next up is an Ipswich.

No bloody sign of the Braintree train.
UPDATE:

Just left Stratford 10 minutes late.

Dangerously close to the kind of delay that sets the wankers at GA thinking about cancelling the service at Witham.

A pat...

On the back for GA.

The 0812 got to Stratford just 2 minutes late.

Good job gents.

Another shambles...

Courtesy of GA this morning. An earlier broken down train is causing absolute chaos.

The 0727 was cancelled so the 0812 is now running almost 10 minutes late and was rammed well before we arrived at Chelmsford.

Even more overcrowded now.

Just what you want first thing in the morning.

More...

Shite service from the new kings of shite services at GA.

The tossers decided to cancel the Southminster train tonight and then told all their now f*cked-up passengers to get the Braintree train and change at Shenfield.

Result? Another f*cked-up journey for not one trainload of punters but two.

The Braintree train is currently absolutely rammed with Southminster f*ckers hogging all the seats and blocking all the doorways.

Brilliant.

The gormless...

F*ckwits running GA have now published their special Olympic timetable.

And, surprise, surprise there's a new "additional" departure from Stratford to Braintree being run for the duration of the Olympic clusterf*ck.

This "additional" service promptly disappears come the end of the Paralympics and fails to reappear. Ever.

It's no longer even shown in GA's newly printed timetable which runs till December.

So a service we were promised over 6 months ago, is now rescheduled as merely a temporary  addition.

I did harbour high hopes for some noticeable improvement when GA took over the franchise but, I now have to admit sadly, Greater Anglia truly are just as shite as National Express in every way.

Another morning...

Another ballsed-up journey courtesy of Network bloody Rail.

The f*ck-up de jour is a knackered level crossing barrier at Ingatestone.

The relatively good news is that there are currently about half a dozen Orange jackets millling around in the Ingatestone station car park seemingly getting ready to fix it.

Can you rely on anything these tossers maintain?

Yet again...

The dickheads running this shamelessly f*cked-up excuse for a railway are  holding us outside Chelmsford.

Yet again they reckon we'll be here for at least another 10 minutes because the previous Braintree train ran late and hasn't cleared the Braintree branch line yet.

F*ckwits!

Just the 3 later trains overtook us tonight.

It's turned into one huge joke.

Unbelievably...

The cretins running this shambles of a railway are now holding us outside Chelmsford.

They reckon we'll be here for at least another 10 minutes because the previous Braintree train ran late and hasn't cleared the Braintree branch line yet.

This from the same bunch of incompetent f*ckwits who, on 2 separate occasions last week and the week before, felt it incumbent on themselves to cancel Witham to Braintree trains at Witham because the bloody things were running late!

What's changed tonight?

Update: The gormless f*ckers are still bullshitting on their shite app that this train is "on time"

Bollocks it is.

So far 2 later trains have overtaken us while we sit here stewing.

You just couldn't make up this level of stupidity.

Apocalyptic warnings...

In this morning's Metro freebie paper that the tube won't be able to cope during the Olympic clusterf*ck.

No shit Sherlock?

Another mindboggling...

Shambolic display of incompetence by the new kings of the f*ck-up, Greater Anglia.

The Central Line has been disrupted at Stratford by a burst water pipe of all things.

So the cretins at Stratford have seen fit to completely shut the stairs leading up from the station entrance which just happens to be the direct route to one of the Central Line platforms.

It also happens to be the best route from the Jubilee Line to platform 10A.

Anyone wanting to get to platform 10A now has to double back, go back down the stairs they've just struggled up, go into the southern rat-run, fight their way through the stinking mass of humanity that are now crowding into it and make their way up onto platform 10. Then it's along to the central stairs, back down to the central rat-run which should have been accessible from the Jubilee Line and finally up onto platform 10A.

A troop of deaf and blind chimpanzees could do a better job than the plonkers running Stratford tonight.
