F*cking nightmare of a bastard commute

[Bahnhof Strasse]

South West trains fucked completely. Signalling problem at Wimbledon. Been stationary for 15 mins already.

SWT aren't in charge of the weather.

fifteen minutes is nothing! Was stuck at Waterloo for 45 minutes trying to get home afte a night out, in the end had to jump on the first train out going in the general direction then get a bus.

Still love trains though

I was stuck on a train for about an hour between stations.

Glad I went to the toilet before I left.

At Waterloo I had to make the decision of going to the toiliet and maybe miss a train boarding, or holding on. I made the dash to the loo, get back and managed to see a train boarding and got out. Phew I was relived!!

Doubly relieved.

THE train is your house on rails where you can do whatever you like, according to many passengers.

Customers think trains are their own private property where they are free to do things like eating kebabs, arguing with relatives and watching Netflix with the sound up.


Builder Norman Steele said: “I like to take my boots off and put my sweaty feet up on the table. It’s like being at home but without my wife complaining about the stench.

“Since I temporarily own my part of the train I’m also allowed to leave chocolate wrappers on the seats and to do a massive shit in the toilet without flushing it.

“On my next journey I’m taking it to the next level and sprawling out in just my pants watching football on my phone.”

Mum-of-two Emma Bradford said: “It’s good that trains become your house because I’d hate it if my kids had to stop playing with their bleepy electronic learning toys on long journeys.

“Being ‘at home’ also means I can talk loudly to my friends about things like my recurring yeast infection without feeling in the least bit self-conscious.”

I was flying to Bermuda yesterday so missed SW Trains hell. This morning my commute was a five minute ferry ride over the Puget Sound. What hell.

Hope it sinks on your return journey

Take a look at @SouthernRailUK's Tweet:

It stops at 8, so we had to take a taxi back. Maybe it'll sink this morning though?

 

[kabbes]

Flight back is in chaos because of tropical storm Matthew. Planes in the wrong airports. So we have a smaller plane with no first class and no world traveller plus. Lots of very, very pissed off rich people with a gob on moaning at islanders that DNGAF. The tiny Bermuda airport cannot cope plus their computer has gone on the fritz.

Come back SW Trains, all is forgiven.

How would you like to be stuck behind this in the morning?

Although part of me does hope he gets very regular runs to England!

What a bellend.

Nothing says Scottish Freedom like a racist, anti-Semite American

 

[nuffsaid]

Southern rail says it will sack conductors unless deal over role is reached

things coming to a head...

 

[dessiato]

My commute this afternoon was ruined by the sun. It was too bright and too hot to make the five minute walk comfortable.

I'm not even going to dare show my front and side shots of the truck!

IIRC Gibson was originally Australian? - although I think he did get US citizenship eventually.

Filthy little disease vectors (sorry, children) on the train, coughing everywhere. They shouldn't be allowed on public transport unless wrapped in clingfilm to stop them spreading germs.

I thought he was Aussie too, wiki'd him and it said yank and was too meh to look in to it further tbh.

Just checked and you are right. He was born in the US but moved to Australia as a child - then came back.

 

[tommers]

Well, I learned something today. I thought he was aussie too.

Everyday's a school-day on urban

Did southern get better only to get worse again? Yesterday then today my trains have been delayed delayed delayed. Where they are just sitting for ages outside stations wuth no explanation. It's so stressful

 

[kabbes]

Southern's pitiful attempt to win hearts and minds with adverts in the Metro is just tragic.

Rather than fix their problems the management has decided the thing to do is try to shame the RMT by invoking ire from their customers...





How did that go for them I hear you ask?

 

[kabbes]

Oh, just fuck you SW Trains

 

[magneze]

Day off today

 

[kabbes]

Of course, heaven forbid the fuckers refrain from closing the train doors more than 30 seconds early when starting off. Never less than 8 minutes late at the destination, but fuck those who want to get on the train 30 seconds before its scheduled departure time.

the leaves on the line today still have the rest of the tree attached
