There are enough complains on this forum alone about guards not performing ticket checks correctly (i.e. "any unchecked tickets?" being shouted whilst rushing through the coach) or not at all. I recall that another common complaint is not going through 1st class after Bromley, despite the large number of free upgrades that are presumably never paid for. While it's from a long time ago, in Network SouthEast days, here's an account of a typical shift of a conscientious guard. billnot.com/br/dayinthelife.htmlChapelwood

Vinnie. This place is for folk to let off steam about SE trains (and why not, given the astronomical fare increases?). I fear your wait could go on for some time - perhaps this messageboard is not for you.

It seems obvious i don't have any support so i will depart and let the usual few suspects sing from the same hymn sheet.
Thank you and goodnight
Vinnie.

Having been late for yet another meeting - before the latest snow - I'm compelled to ask whether anyone knows if mainline drivers are under some sort of instruction not to make up time.
Under the public sector southeastern, and even under Connex, it used to be that trains would run faster than normal trying to make up time. Under Southeastern, this doesn't happen. The failure to do this just compounds problems, because the train misses its' slot at Chislehurst (Cannon Street) or Herne Hill (Victoria), and so is held up even further. Can't imagine drivers not trying to make up time.

I too am sick of the current situation. Attached is a link to youtube of my latest handywork. I hope the mods don't mind, its for entertainment only! :-) AKC www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jITChiKCIIThis seems to have been picked up by the media. It was the front page 'splash' in the last issue of Faversham News (KM Media), though I can't find an online version
