I know the reduced train service is a big topic at the moment, on a smaller subject...

Does the 8:35 fast train ever turn up on time anymore? Im sure I remember it used to turn up on time and take about 12 mins to get to London Bridge. Occasionally i get this train (although I used it regularly at one time when it was more reliable). It appears to always late and consequently gets stuck behind loads of trains and therefore take 20 mins to get to LB.

On another point I am already so so fed up with the overcrowding on our trains that I have decided to drive to sydenham hill and get the train to victoria to get to Paddington (where I work) instead - Not only am I guaranteed a seat, but I am also guaranteed not having vast sways of standers hunching over me too! It's actually quite an enjoyable trip to work now
