Please keep me informed. The Missus is dropping me off near the ground so I'm hoping to get a ticket and a beer in. This is all due to the forecast being shit for next weekend. If it turns out fine we'll have to go out on the boat  Oh thats what i was doing until found out it was all ticket, if you order this morning they can send out for tomorrow or you can get one reserved at withdean |

I've been checking the trains and the only bus replacement is from Swindon to Reading which we knew about before we even booked our train tickets. No big deal really.
The only change is that the bus leaves at 8.18 as opposed to the 8.25 initially.

National Rail site is showing no problems with trains through Clapham Junction this Saturday.
It is tempting to leave from London Bridge instead though just to be on the safe side. Hmmm

Just had a look through the stuff on the National Rail site. Seems the major problems will be if you are travelling from Waterloo to/past Clapham Junction, although as suttonred said, that might affect other routes.
Think I'll leave from Victoria or London Bridge in that case, hopefully get to Brighton around 12.30

All Victoria trains go through CJ so will be affected, I haven't looked on the web so unsure why it's not being reported, but it's been in the metro all week and we have notices up at our local stations. For reference to how it knocks on a couple of weeks ago a train broke down near Waddon ( 35 mins from victoria) took me 3 hours to do my normal 40 minute journey. so double double check

I'm going from Brentford to Clapham to Brighton. The online planner says that will take 1:19 min.
So are you saying thats is wrong?
or
If something was to happen at Clapham i would be most likely buggered?
