That infuriates me, along with the clown horn one. Keypad tones are equally annoying too - I want to ram the phone up their arse.

I've been stuck on a train going nowhere for 30 minutes now. Train broken down at Epsom apparently, as if that's in any way an excuse. Shitty run down failure of a train network.
Seriously, can I have just one single day when I can get to work and back without anything happening? No, apparently I cant.

This train couldn't be any hotter if it was on fire. Turn the fucking heating down you twats - it's not even cold outside.

I like a nice hot train.
Just strip off a few layers and relax.
Cold trains are far worse than cosy hot ones

Anyway, two more schleps into town and that's me done for 2014

Cold is GOOD. Hot is BAD.
I'm home now, but I couldn't strip off any more clothes without getting arrested. Could always smash one of the windows with the emergency hammer I suppose.

They threw us all off at Epsom in the end. It took me over 3 hours to get home that night, plus an extra £25 in taxi fares
which should be reclaimable.
I got from Carlisle to Dorking without a hitch the other week. Some days you can't go a fraction of the distance without it taking ages.

One on one? You're crazy.
I had to go on a short rail journey with a colleague who I don't know - just a couple of stops (St Pancras Thameslink to West Hampstead) on the way to the station I said we'd be taking the Thameslink, rather than the tube
He replied
'You know the problem with London Transport don't you?'
I said, no I didn't'
'It's run by a bunch of cunts, that's what's wrong'
he then said something about getting fucked by them as his train from Woolwich wasn't stopping at Cannon St anymore
He needs to get on this thread

Yeah, I've put in a claim but who knows what they end up actually giving you, if anything?

I don't think I can get compensation for the actual journey because I have a season ticket, or some such nonsense.
They probably won't pay the taxi but I genuinely had no option other than to walk for 10 miles. They really are a bunch of gangsters.
They tell us that it is because of a broken down train like that's an actual excuse. It's their fucking rolling stock!

What I get is a discount on next year's season ticket depending on how many bad days Southwest Trains have clocked up over a year. So you could have got lucky and had hardly any delays and still get a discount, or you could be the poor sap who's hit every time the trains go wonky. I guess it works out on average. And for some reason the guy in the ticket office in May spent 10 minutes faffing about and then gave me twenty quid in hard cash. Still no idea why.

Yeah, and the approach taken to the calculation is bullshit. Imagine you have a commuter train to Waterloo that arrives at 9 stops on time then is 30 minutes late into Waterloo itself. Almost every passenger on that train is going all the way to Waterloo, so I would think a good 95% of its passengers are now 30 minutes late. But in the stats, that train contributes to the train company being 90% on time, because it was at 9/10 of its stops on time.

At the start of the year I was coming in from Shepperton, during the month of January not one day ran well. Most days it was the out and back trains that went to shit. I was livid and wanted to complain, but was travelling on a ticket that wasn't valid from Shepperton and only kicked in from Hampton (start of zone 6), so had to resort to a lot of tutting instead.
