I'm not sure because it varies with each driver and their shifts.

aaah so southern still melts down spectacularly in the snow then...

no idea what it was like in brentford, cos i was away in norfolk visiting family, where there isn't much public transport to speak of anyway. i assume it was rather chaotic anywhere within 5 miles of heathrow though.

Having lived in West Norwood since the end of September, I can certainly see why you complained about Southern so much, do there trains actually ever run on time? :lol:

nope! i swear some of them on the crystal palace branch at rush hour are literally always 5 minutes late as a rule, primarily due to FCC fliers coming in from brighton via tulse hill, why they don't just reschedule them i have no idea...

generally the sunday service runs on time, but then you have the problem that a 2-car unit every 30 minutes on branch lines really is not sufficient...

what on earth made you want to live in west norwood anyway? :P

Trust me, it really wasn't through choice! Having spent the summer home in Yeovil, Somerset, I then had to move back to London for uni and it was a case of, shit, I don't have much time or much money, where the hell can I find somewhere to live, contacted some estate agents and ended up going with the cheapest. As soon as my contract runs out here, I am off! :D
