Omy lordie -that was a day. Whether It was the good twenty one degressweatherif something else but the rail network herein Kent went very wonky.First trip from Sittingbourne was delayed by thirty minutes and then more shenanigans over at Ramsgate. This was due to a combination of problems, one being signal problems at Gillingham and Rochester,whilst the other an electrical problem on a high speed tran meant that the day went tit shit up.

Ramsgate was the big lollapalooza. I was meant to travel on the 14;12 train to Dover.It arrived at 14:45 which is roughly 33 minutes late. Also despite the electronic information displays saying that the train was going to St.Pancras via Dover Priory we halted just outside of Minster where the track splits in different directions, We then had an announcement from the driver via the signalman that we were going fast to Canterbury West. Apologising for this, we did stop at Minster to allow some of us to catch the next train back to Ramsgate. Yet NOBODY had informed us at Ramsgate that this was not the train going via Dover Priory . So we had to catch the 15:14 back to Ramsgate first. We left Ramsgate at 15:50.

So having missed the 15:20 back from Dover to home base i had to catch the 16:20 back which was only delayed by ten minutes. Jeez!

I am doing a report for the research company and i tell you this it will be damning!
