Abellio Greater Anglia Leg
I was due to get the 23:02 LST to 23:31 SNF service, but because of severe delays caused by a train hitting an object near Harold Wood, I don't actually know when the trains I got on were supposed to run.

LST-GDP
Train: 315855 & 315814 - Carriage: 71404 - 7th of 8 carriages (BR Class 315 4 Carriage EMU - 2 units coupled together to form an 8 carriage train)
Pulled out of LST @ 23:00
Pulled into GDP @ 23:49
Temperature: 20.3 to 21.0 C
Humidity: 47 to 55 %
Notes: Train was supposed to terminate at SNF, but was terminated prematurely at GDP and returned to LST. Driver told us to get off and wait for the next train which would take passengers to SNF.

GDP-SNF
Train: 315802 & 315824 - Carriage: 71304 - 6th of 8 carriages (BR Class 315 4 Carriage EMU - 2 units coupled together to form an 8 carriage train)
Pulled into GDP @ 23:57
Pulled out of GDP @ 23:58
Pulled into SNF @ 00:12
Temperature: 17.9 to 20.2 C
Humidity: 43 to 47 %
Notes: Second attempt to get to SNF, carriage was dirty and seats were a mess.

General Notes:
Overall, the journey was going well until I got to Liverpool Street. AGA's total lack organisation was apparent, yet again. Judging by a tweet from JH this morning, they still didn't know what got hit by the train at Harold Wood, distinct contrast to how Virgin Trains dealt with the delays on 26th October. Although, saying that the member of AGA staff I spoke to at LST was pleasant enough when I asked her what was going on, but she, like everyone else had no real idea what was going on. I have just tweeted AGA to ask if they now know what got hit by a train, GK replied, telling me that the train hit a stag.
