London Underground
Announce over the tannoy that there is currently a good service on the Central Line when people are jammed in like veal and the service is pretty fucking far from good.

Cunts.

PS Thirty five grand start pay (not to mention 40 days holiday not including strikes) for tube drivers??? WTF? Whens it's dark apply the accelerator, when it's light apply the brake. FFS.

Likewise at Stratford
for the Jubilee Line when:

1 - the only train sat on one of the three platforms is "OUT OF SERVICE"
2 - the next train is due to depart in 18 minutes
3 - it's 8.30am on a weekday

Bastards

Incidentally having had plenty of opportunity whilst waiting for underground trains, I've timed some compared to the electronic boards:

1 Jubilee Line "minute" = 1 real minute, 42 seconds on average

1 Central Line "minute" = 2 real minutes, 5 seconds on average

thing is
The funny thing is, the Underground is all computer controlled now. They don't even need an accelerator. They just have a stop button in case theres an emergency like if someone dies or they want a coffee or something
