    Another post says points failure at International Junction been standing for 90 mins. So I hopre its that and not 60019, lots of compensation if it had been blocking Waterloo!!!!

    It will be interesting to see who takes the blame for the delay and who has to pay compensation.If its the track then surely no conpensation is due from the operating company.

    Off we go to Fleet then, seems strange a path down the main has been found though as its normally a 7.20 from Waterloo that is the only one available.
