F*cking nightmare of a bastard commute

... only problem is today seems to be the day every other fucking line is fucking up too. The GWR Reading to Gatwick train is 25 minutes late and that would have got me to Redhill in time to pick up a fast London Bridge train. But now I’m going to miss the connection.

*IMPOTENT RAGE*
 
Every time people have a bank holiday, the forces of capital go nuts for lost productivity. Yet I estimate there are currently about 150 people on my platform alone still waiting for trains that have failed to materialise for hours. Multiply that bollocks up and see how much it’s worth. But who cares, eh?

I decided to miss the train from Vauxhall to Brentford and use the Piccadilly line and bus now there’s severe delays westbound Piccadilly
 
Can't you just lie Puddy_Tat? They'll be swamped with claims so they probably won't check. :hmm:

When my delay is 29 or 59 minutes I check the number of seconds before the magic round number is recorded on the arrival time. If it's more than 30 I just round it up, and argue with them if the get arse about it.
 
They got off at Imperial Wharf and were replaced by a man ranting at everybody about how we're not better than him with our phones and devices and looking at him funny and he's going to be a criminal if his work doesn't continue and he's going to target suburbia, people like us and he's not going to go away and you can call the police again if you like, he doesn't care cos he is mentally powerful and physically powerful and...

10:42 Eurostar to Paris due in 35 minutes late, which is fucking up my meeting. Even when I get a fancy train, it gets fucked.

A load of them we’re cancelled today. You should’ve flown, all the Gatwick-Paris fights went on time ;)
