TFL Realtime travel news page
(http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/realtime/?mode=tube&time=now) was working at
18:00 with up-to-date information for Tube and DLR. They replaced usual
graphics with text-only page, but it worked.

I was a bit disappointed by the info on the FCC website on Friday,
which had lots of individual bulletins but no simple summary saying
what was happening *right now*. Having to read 4 or 5 service updates
and line updates is rather conffusing at the best of times. It wasn't
helped by a service bulletin that hadn't been removed from earlier in
the week!

Colleagues at work were looking at their respective TOC sites and most
had gone for the single page, plain text, pages to help cope with
demand. Even the Journey Check had simplified itself for some of the
day on Thursday. Overall, I think everything was done incredibly well
on Thursday, given the circumstances, but Friday was a bit more of a
mess as the 'clean up' took place.

I agree. Online information was virtually non existant.
I tried to travel on SWTtrains from Waterloo after 6 on the day.

I had the feeling there would be no trains at Waterloo but the SWTrains
website made little mention of the fact.
However, they had been updating it, and made reference to the storms
and the shut lines.

But no mention of the fact that next to no trains were running from
Waterloo that evening.
Luckily I had the option of the District line and a bus to get me home.
And that seemed to run okay despite the Tube.com saying there was sever
disruption.

I felt very sorry for the people who didn't have the option of the tube
to get home that night.
