I don't know why the entire network was affected. Southern Railway don't seem to be able to cope with these incidents. I don't know why trains were still being cancelled 5 hours afterwards - it seems pretty clueless.

Well - if you think it takes only a short time to pick up bits of fingers, heart, eyes, liver, etc. perhaps you should try doing it yourself.

The reason trains are still being cancelled up to 5 hours after an incident like this, is because they are in the wrong places and the timetable becomes useless. Also the current takes a while to filter through the system once it is switched back on. It causes problems for passangers and staff alike.
