When we initially got to Portsmouth Harbour, 06:04 train to Barnham, then change to Victoria Station, was delayed, mind you so were all bar one, the Cardiff train. Around 06:00 announcement 06:04 cancelled please join another train, as every one walked towards the train, it left the station. The train was cold, no heating on. The next one we caught was late leaving by about 10/15 mins, missed connection at Barnham, had to wait another 20 mins for the Victoria train. The Barnham train had a problem with the doors opening, so it was slightly late leaving due to this.
Return journey late due to Road Show running slight late, got onto another train, which we had to change at Cosham, however this changed to Havant due to a another door failure which resulted in the train running slightly late. The change to Portsmouth Harbour was running 10/15 mins late.
We ended up on a Southern West train, even though our tickets stated 'southern only'.
So after leaving the house at 05:00 & return home at 20:45, it was rather a long day. read more
