Queens Park Station
Those of you who have experienced the London Commuter will know that there are certain things called politeness and courtesy which seem to be alien to this particular flavour of person. Anyhow - it's rush hour, and my friend along with the contents of the train deposit themselves onto the platform at Queens Park. All, with the exception of one woman - pushing past with all the tenacity of a pitbull mangling a 2 year-old chav, elbowing everyone she cared to acknowledge, bellowing in a loud voice to all who cared to listen 'Excuse ME!'.

Everyone got off. There was a slight pause. Now - the Bakerloo line has an odd quirk with its recorded announcements - they occur after the event it warns you of happens.

The doors shut.

'This train terminates here.'

Cue the platform erupting in karmarific laughter as she screamed a soundless 'Nooooo!' whilst disappearing into the blackness of the depot.

Good lord, YOU!

You're still alive!

How are you coping with 'trial by sleep deprivation'?

Hey there
Not dead, but employed - which is nice :)

Currently doing a stint in Geriatrics with minions, which means I get to leave work by 3pm :D

How be you?

doesn't sound right...
don't they usually check each carriage of the the train manually before locking the doors? Or are they a bit slack on t'Bakerloo...?

re Checking
They certainly do now, this event was about 4 years ago - it may have been the proverbial one that got away.
