A six-year-old girl from East Sussex has penned an impassioned plea to Southern Railway begging the company to get her father home on time. Ella's father Neil works as a graphic designer in Shoreditch and between delays and cancellations, he is always late home which means he doesn't see his daughter before she goes to bed. The letter, which was shared by Neil on Facebook and Twitter, reads: "Dear Mr Railway Man, my daddy is always late home and I miss him very much because he always used to tuck me into bed, this makes me upset. "Please get him home on time. Daddy says you take all his money, that is why I can’t go to Disneyland. I really want to go to Disneyland". Southern Railway has since released a statement apologising for the delays: "We are sorry that Mr Porter has been delayed on his way home and that his daughter misses him. "Trains to Victoria and London Bridge travel over the most congested part of the whole of Britain's railway network and we are constantly pushing against the boundaries of what is physically possible on the infrastructure to provide as much capacity as possible to and from London. "London Bridge station is being rebuilt with fewer platforms and tracks for our trains currently, and this has made train performance even more challenging. "We and Network Rail are determined to improve the situation and have made some additional changes to the timetable today to help with this.”
