It seems to me that ever since they revised the Union departure platforms last month, they haven't been able to get the rush hour trains out on time - not once. <br /><br />And the LSW is the busiest line; the platforms are totally packed. If you want to get a seat on the 17:18 train, which is what I usually target, you have to get there awfully early. And then you end up waiting for close to 25 minutes. And then it doesn't show up until 17:18 - the time it's supposed to be leaving - and you watch the 17:25 LSW train take off first. <br /><br />This was the case on the Monday, May 25 17:18 - it arrived somewhere around 17:24, and when it filled up, the CSA announced "Sorry for the delay in pulling into Union. There was a - actually, there's no reason." He actually said that. Then he said they had to "run some tests" on the train before we could get going. Never heard that one before. And then, because we left so late and were behind the 17:25, there was significant "track congestion" and we ended up stopping three times for at least 5 minutes each time. <br /><br />And this is becoming standard on a daily basis.
