The post you are reporting:
Roger the buses have nothing to do with the trains,DHB run the buses to the Eastern Docks and some of the cruise companies run shuttle buses,the more expensive the cruise the less chance of a bus though,when the Icelandic dust cloud came on we double manned our office at short notice and run trains all night,we had extra staff booked on and we were nearly all doing 12 hrs,there were no buses because of the works and DHB decreed that it was not safe for the buses plus they couldn't get in and turn round.
We talk to the docks as we did again at the beginning of last week when there were problems with airports such as Leeds,and let then know off additional passengers coming thru,and they kept the docks open and ran extra ships which they don't advertise to foot passengers overnight because there is nowhere to buy tickets at the docks so they close normally about 8pm and reopen at about 7am.
Why should Southeastern run extra buses,our job is running trains,as far as running buses to and from the Station in nearly every guide book it says get a bus from the station,there isn't one,but I will be bending Cllr Collors ear because they could run a bus every half hour or so from the Priory to the Castle at least.
