London Transport Rant!

[Dooms]

Everyone on forums and stuff are going... YEY SNOW!! and it started me on a bit of a rant after my journey to work this morning... Basicly... London transport is stupid expensive yet still a shambles!

It rains.... london transport dies
Its windy... london transport dies
Its hot... london transport dies
Its autumn... leaves fall... london transport dies
Its cold... london transport dies

The rest of the time.... Engineering works, signal failures or strikes!

Thank god I'm leaving London in 6 days

If a speck of snow hits tarmac the whole country grinds to a halt (or that is how it appears in Essex..)

Good old TFL. Guarenteed to make your life a misery.

[Dareos]

Hmm, reminds of a song called London Underground (Jam ripoff)

I know...where were the gritters, the news has been saying for days that it'll snow today, and yet they act as if they are caught on the hop. It took me 2 hrs to get to work. (usually it takes 20mins)...no accidents just everyone going painfully slowly...../rant over

Ah that's great and I feel slightly better

More news that they are closing stations all around London, more snow and ice ment to be on its way - Good luck getting home everyone.

Oh and to make things even better EVERY TIME THERE ARE DELAYS OR PROBLEMS THE STATION WEBSITES GO DOWN!!! ARGH!!!

[Blackmage]

TFL a joke... we are better off driving...

[lychee]

they cant get the service right, they cant make oyster cards that work, they cant offer refunds without taking more than a month to process.

oh yes Londons TFL really are the crummiest in the world...

[tiggerai]

they cant make oyster cards that work,

Mine works fine thanks.

[Agent]

You're special though. In a rainbow kinda way

[lychee]

Mine works fine thanks.

[tiggerai]

I love you too.

It's Rainbow bus... if you're gonna quote me again.

Clunk: Yes. very like zippy... Ask ade... he's had the pleasure of some of my conversations.... he's scared of the way my mind works.

[Lee @ SCAN]

he's scared of the way my mind works.

Wait till he's spoken to me in MK after I've had a few pints

He'll be legging it down the motorway arms swinging screaming for the men in a padded van to come collect me.

Anyway, it is stupid how this country gets all it's transport system broken after less than 4 cm of snow. Surely we should be better prepared, but to make matters worse I have not seen any gritters up here in Manchester over the last few days and they've had a few days notification of the cold snap appearing.

Thats actually part of the greater plan to reduce the manc population mate =)
