ps. I'm getting "Http/1.1 Service Unavailable" from the NationalRail
site now.

I can get the journey planner page

It's right on the edge, some bits working and some not. I got the SWT
amended service announcement (which is what failed earlier) when I tried
again just now:

"No trains will run before 11:00 at the earliest, and in some cases this
may be significantly later. "

"There will be no service between:

Ascot and Ash Vale
Salisbury and Bristol
Virginia Water and Weybridge
Windsor & Eton Riverside and London Waterloo

"A very limited service will run later today between:

Aldershot and Guildford
Chessington branch
Hampton Court branch
Shepperton branch

"All other routes will run to revised timetables.

but it hangs when I try and get a train from Southampton. Presumably
can't cope with the load.

Not helped by having failed to turn off all the advertising and other
nonsense, which is pretty basic stuff for days like today.

FCC, on the other hand, admit their server wasn't coping, and have
activated their contingency plan:

"We are currently experiencing severe technical issues with the
performance of this website and as such have reverted to an emergency
homepage."
