Summary: Got on two late running trains that got me to my destination earlier than I'd normally get there, sometimes good things come out of late running trains. Getting on trains I'd normally get, I totalled 7 minutes late over the coarse of the week.
Friday 19th September, was the day of the Manor Park floods, or Puddlegate, while working at M&S Simply Food next to CHM, two or three trains came in before 19:30 which were delayed by up to 2 hours, then we got the three trains which were due between 18:00 and 18:30 came in between 20:00 and 20:30. It appeared as if all trains due into CHM between 18:25 and 20:00 had been cancelled. The trains that were due after 20:00 were still running late by up to 30 minutes, including the one I boarded which was running around 20 minutes late.
