"Occasionally engineering works"?!

I'm sorry, I think that massively underestimates the frequency and scale of disruption to the northbound train service on Sundays, and does a disservice to anyone who's thinking of moving here. Currently, a disrupted or totally non-existent northbound service is more frequent than a normal Sunday service (in the last 26 weeks by my count, it's 8 with no trains, 6 with reduced service, 6 normal and 6 when I've been away and haven't checked).

And Southern's advice is not to take a replacement bus service (is there one?), but to travel via East Croydon. Paying the extra, obviously.
