Traveling on...

One of the newly cleaned and refurbished Class 321s.

I must say it's a much nicer experience than traveling on an NXEA operated equivalent.

Shame about the discarded empty coffee cup rolling about on the floor.

Why do...

I get the sense of deja vu?

The next Stratford train is at least 10 minutes late.

It's also, according to the Witham tannoy, absolutely f*cking rammed.

The reason for the shambles is a cracked rail on the approach to Liverpool Street  closing 3 platforms.

Utter shite given these rails were replaced not long ago during another well publicized National Rail balls-up.

New operator. Same old...

Shit.

Slung off at Witham.

The next Stratford train isn't due for another 25 miserable minutes.

The London-bound platform is absolutely bloody rammed.

It's like NXEA never left.

F*cking ridiculous.

And so the crap begins again...

Another Network Rail f*ck-up at Liverpool Street has allegedly reduced the number of platforms available there.

As a result, Greater Anglia have picked up the same lazy unimaginative habits that NXEA had when they were faced with this kind of shit.

They're terminating trains short.

So the 0812 is only running as far as Witham this morning. Once there we're on our own.

Didn't take long.

And I really did want to give 'em the benefit of the doubt.

Shouldn't have even tried.

Yet more...

Crap from TfHell. The Jubilee line is currently f*cked up big time, and as an added bonus, they're also dicking around with the DLR.

A fire alarm at Swiss Cottage or St Johns Wood earlier has screwed the Jubilee.

At the same time,  the dopey wankers are trialling the DLR service they expect to run during the Olympics clusterf*ck.

I have news for them, it's utter shite.

Back to the drawing board boys.

On top of all this bollocks, Bob bloody Crow has called the maintainers who keep the Jubilee Line running out on f*cking strike for the rest of the week.

The question is, given the less than spectacular service we generalally see, will we miss the lazy bastards?

For some reason...

Passengers waiting at Stratford are now being regularly subjected to a bizarre tannoy announcement by some weird sounding f*cker welcoming us to "... Stratford, the home of the 2012 Olympic Park venues."

Like we need any reminders about this summer's mega-clusterf*ck.

Lies, queue jumpers...

And another f*cked up evenings travel courtesy of the tossers at TfHell.

The lies were the bullshit coming over the tannoy which was gleefully announcing a "good service" on all Underground lines.

That was shown to clearly be bollocks when the drones running the station were forced to close the barriers after the platforms became dangerously overcrowded as no Stratford-bound trains were coming through.

The first one didn't appear for almost 10 minutes. The next 4 were completely packed, I finally made it onto the sixth, a new record for unboardable trains.

Tempers weren't helped by the queue jumping cow who thought she'd slide up the inside hoping no-one would notice. She was wrong.

Finally, when I got to Stratford, the mainline was a crock of shit as well.
