SquabbleFollowing Southeastern’s publication of their new anti-passenger timetable and the consequent mud slinging by politicians on all sides I always like to regurgitate my old 1988 timetable.

Back then my favourite train home was the 17:08 from Cannon Street which pulled into Abbey Wood station a mere 23 minutes later. An underpowered slam-door train operated by the much maligned British Railways. There were several with the same or very similar timings.

Today the best that Southeastern can do just after 5 p.m. is 29 minutes with some taking four minutes longer.
