For one train to be delayed is a misfortune...
Ha! here we are in what was once one of the leading nations of the civilised world and every train I have been on so far this morning has been delayed.
Shall start a new category for these posts, called perhaps "Why, oh why...?" or "It really is appalling" to hold these. But in brief, the Jubilee line train I take first of all pulled into my starting station, Canons Park, let passengers on and then sat there without moving for ten minutes. As I was obviously not going to catch my usual London Bridge train I diverted myself to Victoria, but the Victoria line was having delays due to "speed restrictions". Forced to take the train to Lewes, which gets me to work late after changing there for the Falmer train, and that too was delayed. It is clearly unreasonable of me to try to work so far from home and I humbly apologise to those who run the railways and in particular to Alistair Darling for troubling him.
