Chris,

I got on the 17:55 from Waterloo and it went about 1/2 mile before stopping for over an hour, due the 'fire'. Fortunately my train was not too full and had great a/c working so it wasn't too bad, unlike some other trains parked next to us, in which the passengers were obviously both jammed and enjoying a sauna-like experience.

The trip to Woking took 1 hr 45mins instead of the usual 25mins or so.

To top it off, this morning the partial strike on SWT took effect and the managers were driving the trains so it was slow and chaotic this morning as well (and will be Thurs as well).

Oh well, I've managed 14 years on the trains so far, after a while you'll get used to it!

Fromage Frais appears to have better cooling properties actually.

Petit Filous are the rolls-royce of fromage frais too

I find the frozen drinking yogurts in a tube meet all my cooling needs..
