Dysfunctional SouthWestTrains to Waterloo

overcrowded SouthWestTrains

Disgraceful train service by SouthWestTrains to Waterloo.

Midday: Only one man manning the ticket office, long queue, train five minutes late, only five coaches, passengers packed in like sardines, standing room only, by the time train leaves running ten minutes late, arrival at Waterloo over ten minutes late.

Service from Waterloo no better.

Late night: Yet another overcrowded train, again only five coaches. Leaves on time, then runs slower and slower, now ten minutes late.

I had ten minutes to catch a bus. Luckily I caught it, as running late.

Time to re-nationalise the rail network.
