No bloody trains again

Someone has managed to get hit by a train at Stratford.

So of course the headbangers at NXEA have grabbed with both hands the opportunity to f*ck up the lives of as many people as possible by running no trains at all between Liverpool St and Shenfield till 7pm at the earliest.

Makes a bloody mockery of getting the early train on Fridays so I can finish early.

Update.

I went into Liverpool Street to get the 1720 Braintree train since the National Rail website was showing trains were now running, they just weren't stopping at Stratford.

By the time I arrived, the restrictions had been lifted, this was around 1715, but NXEA were having a nightmare trying to get services back to normal.

Lowlights included the 1720 being displayed on the big matrix displays at Liverpool St but then just disappearing. No explanation, nothing. Then just as mysteriously it reappeared. Odd.

The train itself was at leat 25 minutes late arriving at Liverpool St and just as late departing, it also ran very slowly until the approach to Stratford and then accelerated, we went through Stratford at speed.

Not a good evening.
