Trains from London Victoria to Hastings were severely delayed yesterday with some journeys running more than an hour late.A spokesman for Southern Railways explained to me that the disruption had been had been caused by a train hitting a regular commuter who overcome with despair at the rotten standard of service and frequent delays on the line had thrown himself under a train.

In reponse to widespread concern that the record level of unemployment is impacting hardest on women and the young a Tory M.P. said today said"My children never had a problem finding work,it`s out there if they really want to look for it, as for women quite frankly most of us don`t actually like them that much".

Trains from London Victoria to Lewes (and Hastings) were severely delayed yesterday because some unfortunate soul threw themselves under a train. Maybe you did not know this "A local news hound" and "Dingo", though in the former case I doubt it. But as my fellow commuter says, your comments are "not appropriate"'.

If you`re fed up with party political "ranting" as you put it then why don`t you move to Syria or perhaps China where I`m sure you`d feel right at home.

On three out of the last five train journeys I've made on Southern I've been able to fill in a 'delay repay' form and get a refund. At this rate Southern will soon be paying me to travel with them.
