Well you see gricerboy, trains are the new flights. There was a time when you paid a lot more to fly rather than take the train. But now, flights cost a fraction of what a train costs. This means the average train commuter has become smug and pretentious and feels that the world owes them a favour. This means that the train behaviour has changed, forever. There was a snooty Harriet Harman types lady sitting on a seat with her big alligator purse on the empty seat next to her. I asked her if the purse was hers, ( implying that seats are for passengers like me ), at this the pompous twat huffed and puffed and took her purse off and strode off the carriage announcing that she will find another seat where she would not be bothered.
Take the flight next time mate, you will be okay.

Is that why the trains are going much slower too ?

Someone check the kitchen and see what he's got that we can eat.

No - same size. Today's commuters are just becoming fatter and fatter.
