Compounding the miseryAfter a long and stressful week, I'm sat on the 6:15pm train home on a Friday, having finally reached the sanctuary of the weekend. Quick call to the missus who - bless her cotton socks - confirms there's a beer waiting for me when I get home and a lovely steak for dinner.
Twenty minutes into a forty minute journey, the train stops outside a station and the driver comes on the tannoy to announce that some poor soul has thrown himself under the train in front of us. Sadly this is not the first time either I or my fellow passengers have experienced such a thing so the carriage is soon buzzing with calls being made to relatives explaining we're probably in for an hour-long delay.
The train driver is excellent, keeping us regularly updated on the situation so no-one gets overly frustrated at the delay. After forty minutes he explains that the line ahead has been closed indefinitely, so he's been given approval to walk the length of the train and take us back to the station before where we can join a different line. Everyone around me seems satisfied that the guy is doing everything he can and we'll probably be home an hour late.
As the driver is walking along the tracks to the cab at the other end of the train, two twats decide they've had enough waiting and pull the emergency door release, jump down onto the tracks and leap over the fence. When the driver reaches the cab, he has to call for help from the station to firstly search the tracks to ensure the twats are no longer on it, and then to reset the train (which takes three attempts and plunges us into darkness for long periods).
The net results of such utter twatishness is that we finally arrive at our original destination at 11:20pm.
I really hope the two selfish tossers who ruined our evenings were caught on CCTV. They should be made to aid the clean-up process of the next unfortunately who takes his/her life on the tracks.
