Burst main

Chaos on the London - Brighton main line. Even though it's not their fault, I bet Notwork Fail and Southern get the blame.

Not the only place to suffer from a burst water main this week.
Park St at Pickering on the NYMR outside the station has been dug up to repair a burst on Sat 30th.
This caused some problems on the railway with diesels having to be substituted because locos could not be watered at Pickering or Newbridge.
