Passengers have directed a torrent of abuse at Southern Rail after a third day of delays on trains on its network.
There was 'dangerous overcrowding' at London Bridge on Monday night.
The station is part way through a £6.5 billion rebuild due to finish in 2018.
On Monday Thameslink, which runs through Sutton, issued an apology for not having enough drivers, saying they needed more training.
From Monday: 'Signalling' problems make thousands of commuters late for first day back at work
South West Trains was also reporting delays until 9.30am on its own lines between Wimbledon and Waterloo due to an earlier broken down train.
Passengers on its services are not able to interchange at Waterloo East for London Bridge as services are not stopping at London Bridge.
More delays for passengers at London Bridge - straight after fare rise. We need railways run for public by the public pic.twitter.com/p6mgRf6mTJ

@SouthernRailUK @Chi271069 @AnneSibley why did you not state chaos expected to passengers earlier. You knew this would happen #shambles

Suggest that @SouthernRailUK, @networkrail work out a way of providing free travel for #londonbridgetrains until this mess is sorted.

The rail company is tweeting links to its rail improvement plan with a foreword from deputy managing director David Scorey. To see the plan click here.
But it has not convinced some passengers.
when / how can I meet David Scorey to tell him in person that his plan is not working? @SouthernRailUK

@SouthernRailUK @jwdedwards are these the same plans that said delays/cxns due to staff shortages would be dealt with by Autumn 2014?

@suttonguardian @SouthernRailUK train service has been appalling for months. You should be readying our fares instead of increasing them
