Title: It Must Be A Coincidence
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 17 July 2025, 18:59:52
I had to get the train again today as I had to have an eye exam where they put drops in and I couldn't drive.  ::)

Short hop between Axminster and Honiton on the recently nationalised South Western Trains London Waterloo to Exeter St Davids line.  :)  Going there the train was delayed by 11 minutes due to a signalling fault. Luckily for me I got off at Honiton where it sat for 25 minutes waiting for the 'up' train to Waterloo. Going back it was 6 minutes late for an unspecified reason, but probably related to the earlier signalling fault.  :-\

That's the second time in less than a month I've got the train and they've been late.  ::)  It must be a coincidence, but I'm sure that this sort of thing rarely happened before nationalisation.  :-X  :-\

Back to the 1970's?  ???   ;D

Consider some other facts. Have you ever:

been stuck in a traffic jam?
had a delayed flight?
crashed a car?
moaned about cyclists?
got lost?

If the answer to most of those is yes, then you're a transport disaster area.

I think we should bring back the 1970's British Rail sandwich.

This culinary delight would raise the spirits of delayed passengers.
