Victorious?.

Overrunning engineering works mean that this morning’s train is diverted from Cannon Street to Victoria.   Leaving aside the question as to why a City train is diverted to the West End (Blackfriars would have been better), what makes it worse is that the train is timetabled to go so slowly – with more than an hour allowed from Sevenoaks to Victoria, giving an overall average speed of less than 30mph.   Even the all stations train from Ashford to Victoria via Maidstone East gets there nearly 15 minutes sooner..
