I finally managed to reach the station
Only to find that the bus replacement service had broken down

After wondering to myself whether it should actually be called a train replacement service
I walked out onto the concourse and noticed the giant screen seemed to have been tampered with
Probably by a junior employee
Disgruntled commuters were being regaled with some dismal TVM
Involving a tug-of-love-custody-battle

Had a train delay from Warrington to Widnes last year. Train was due at 7 minutes past 5, one didn't come until half 6 and it was rammed. Loads got off but loads more got on. It was a fucking nightmare. Baking hot summer day as well, everyone sweating and in a foul mood. Get off at Widnes and they had two ticket inspectors at the side gate. I showed one mine and went "Bit of a nerve having youse stood here isn't it" and the fat cunt told me to "Fuck off". 

 

Some people my say fair play to the guy but that sums their customer service up. They blocked me on twitter for calling them a shambles after the 9th long delay on the bounce. 

I remember the time I was working as a ticket inspector in Widnes and that Brian Dowling off Big Brother said that exact same thing to me.  I told him to fuck off. He's piled the timber on as well, the fat cunt.

Northern Rail are shocking. Was using their trains since Monday on a work trip and every single train was late, about 6 or 7 of them.

 

Lancaster Station especially. I think every single train I've ever gotten there over the last couple years has been delayed. Was sat on the platform for about 40 minutes on Monday waiting for a connection to arrive.

 

The UKs rail network is an absolute shambles of a rip off.

The only good thing about Lancaster Station is when you get a train to Morecambe it goes via Bare Lane and when they announce it (in Bad Wool accents) it sounds like "Berlin" - which would be a hell of a diversion.

Repped.

 

I’ll have to listen out for that in a few weeks when heading back to Morecambe.
