My train was 30 minutes late today. I arived and was told it was 1 minute. 25 minutes later a freight train came through. Seems it had broken down. Why can't they move freight in the middle of the night or weekends?

I used to commute from Kent into London on a journey that usually took 50 minutes. As I caught a very early train Journey times used to range from 45 minutes - 75 minutes depending on the random route used (especially on Monday mornings). It also skipped the intermediate stop so the last 40 minutes was a clear run.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostMy train was 30 minutes late today.

That was until the day the driver had the runs and did the journey at full pelt. We left at 6:30 and arrived in Victoria at 6:55 .merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
