Rail Plan 2020 was created so that train travel would be easier, easing congestion and improving the general service, but ‘meltdown Monday’ revealed that we still have a long way to go.

At least 400 journeys were either cancelled or delayed on the first day of the complete overhaul of timetables.

Southern, Thameslink, Northern and Gatwick Express changed every single train time, whilst adding and taking carriages away.

Yesterday however saw dangerous conditions on station platforms as commuters tried to get home during rush hour.

Lewisham Station became dangerously overcrowded last night during a lightning storm, causing a woman to nearly fall between the train and the platform.

Caroline Gilbey, a commuter said: “People were crammed onto the train and that massive gap that I nearly fell in getting on the train last night - Luckily a man grabbed me and pulled me into the train.”

It wasn’t just the overcrowded platform that was the problem, some commuters were stuck on crowded trains stopped just outside the station.

Olly Loosemore on Twitter said: “@networkrail @Se_Railway what’s the latest with #hithergreen. Stuck outside #Lewisham station on a train. I’m Diabetic and blood sugar is dropping.”

Michelle Acford tweeted: “@Se_Railway Been stuck sitting just past #Lewisham station for the past 20 mins.”

And Euan Wilson said: “Once again standing on a crowded train at a standstill outside Lewisham station. Thanks again @Se_Railway we can always rely on you!”

Here are some other journeys that were effected last night.
