Broken down trains add to the problems
In addition to the safety checks between New Cross and London Bridge there also seems to have been a problem with broken-down trains at London Bridge.
So tonight @Se_Railway has broken track and a broken down train blocking services. Just wait until the weather gets bad… #southeastern — Ben Isaacs (@tweetsfromben) November 18, 2014
@Se_Railway late running train on Sidcup line breaks down whilst in lbg. So you cancel the next Gravesend train. Even by your standards… — Sam Betts (@sampbetts) November 18, 2014

@Se_Railway 2 failed trains. Not just the 1 but 2 — Roo McQuarrie (@Roomcq) November 18, 2014
Wow. Just, wow. Excellent article. I trust David Statham has circulated this to all staff to assist in their learning….
15 minutes ago our lights went out, along with all neighbours. We have had two texts from the power company telling us what the problem is and when it will be fixed.
Latest info is below. Why can’t SER do that?
Update at 23:35 – Our engineers are on their way. We believe the issue to be due to an underground cable fault. We can usually fix a power cut within 2 hours, so we hope to have you back on by 01:00. We’re often able to re-route power remotely around problems of this nature so you may be back on sooner, or your power may go on and off. We’ll better understand the cause and update you when engineers are on site investigating.
