Public Transport TraumaCompletely Underwhelmed writes, "I was on a bus the other day when a man got on wearing shorts, over what looked like greeny grey leggings. Then the stench hit me. The 'leggings' were a mass of open wounds, crusted with greenish solidified pus that flaked off in bits as he moved."
What's the worst public transport experience you've ever had?

11 miles in three hoursGetting to see my mates in Enfield (north London) to see my other half in Stratford (east London), looks fairly straightforward on a map. 11 miles as the crow flies.
On a Sunday, using the rattling, clapped out, eye-bleedingly nipple-pink cans of piss known as ONE Railway trains, it used to take anywhere between one-and-a-quarter to three hours...with such excuses as signal failure, train failure, overhead cable failure, door failure, driver failure...
Soon after I found I could cadge a lift off my Enfield mate and by car it would take 20 minutes.
