I really think the driver should slow down a bit. Something might be going horribly wrong here.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014 -
The Silverlink train did that commuting between Hemel Hempstead to Euston. We regular passengers used to comment on it. It felt like a giant had kicked the train as it passed: a definite jerk to the side.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostThe train has developed an uncomfortable and rather disconcerting wobble.
It was quite a jerk; the staff must have all known about it.
It got worse over a few weeks, and then one day it suddenly disappeared.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

The wobble's gone and has now been replaced with a 'bounce' every 3 seconds.
