News toot: South Western Railway first to be renationalised under Labour - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Weak. Was a absolute sh*t show at Waterloo. Removed all the WoE line services from the departure boards and gave zero info to staff. I was one of the lucky ones that's jumped on a train that was apparently the 2+ hour delayed 19:20 and was taxi'd onwards from Salisbury. £80 fare.

Surprise! Now we are moving and running +55 minutes behind the guard appears. Seems like they were hiding from your customers @SW_Help ...
40 minutes stationary now. Has the guard walked through the clear gangway on the train? No. Course not. What's going on @SW_Help ?
In a usual return to form; 08:12 GIL > WAT we've been sat for +10mins. In the 1hr:45 I've been on this train I've not seen a guard and the announcements are too quiet for anybody to hear. Care to update @SW_Help ? What's cracking?
Tasty.
Anybody smell gas? *Sent from a GWR service hurtling at speeds unbeknown to a SWR user towards London Town. **No parking left at Westbury ***No seats left on train. Yey for rail travel!
Revenue protection on the 07:16 GIL > WAT. A new exciting initiative on a service where we don’t usually see a guard in 2 hrs of travel. Christmas party must be at risk this year… 💸
Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas Commuters! 🎅🏻🎄 Rail fares in England to rise by 4.9% in March bbc.co.uk/news/business-…
Ahh, snacks. Remember those days @SW_Help when you used to be able to buy a bottle of water or a bag of crisps during your 2+ hr commute. And on another note; twice the distance on LNER for £10 less than my usual route. Same time. Rate leg room too 👍🏻. *Moves to Wakefield*.
Ahh, I’ve missed sweating through my shirt for 2hrs owing to failed air con on the WoE line. I wonder if they’ll ever do the retrofit that will make it work in warmer conditions? @SW_Help 👋 it’s been a while.
Wow. Good luck @EastWimbledon !!
First journey of ‘23. It’s a trip to Woking to catch a bus to Heathrow. Not the bus I was planning mind. Why? Because my train is 20+ minutes late. What’s more, they’ve cancelled the stop altogether. Have they announced it on the train? No. Trainline told me. @SW_Help on top form
I’m told officially by @SW_Help that a few extra services are running and “only” 150 guards are spending all day on duty drinking tea as “spare” turns, as “40 something %” of trains are operating, with Clapham depot closed entirely.
An @SW_Help person tells me they have 495 train guards on roster today. 143 have duties, leaving 352 - an astonishing 70% - being paid to sit around as “spare.” Because only 47% of the timetable is operating, trains parked idle. How can the railway function like this?
