I'm used to getting email alerts from SWR» (South Western Railway - about) when services are disrupted. I'm not sure if incidents have been increasing in the last few days and weeks or if the emails have been less targeted than normal.

Today, so far, I have received 19 alerts of problems and fixed problems.

  • signalling problem Vauxhall-London Waterloo x4
  • Trespass on the railway Chessington North-Chessington South  x2
  • problem in the depot Clapham Junction x6
  • Trespass on railway Woking - Guildford x2
  • Urgent repairs to railway at Cobham x4
  • Trespass on railway at Motspur Park

On Sunday I received 4 emails, Saturday - 12 emails.

Over the last few weeks I am repeatedly seeing the words "trespass" and the phrase "Emergency services dealing with an incident". This is a worrying trend.
