Quite tired of the shitty quality of the (alleged) 3G mobile telephone signal all the way along the track from Stratford these days.
There are now long stretches of track where there is no useable Orange 3G.
Doubtless this will be spun as an improvement brought about by the merger of Orange and T-Mobile last year.
I take a different view.
About the DLR th that attracts the smelliest people anyone is ever likely to encounter?
There was another one tonight, absolutely reeking of old, stale, fag smoke.
Bloody horrible.
Horrible, sweaty, overcrowded trip into London this morning.
As it was already a warm, humid morning you'd expect the windows on the train to be open to let at least some air in. Not a bit of it, all the windows were slammed shut when I got on at Braintree.
Worse, the section of the carriage where I usually choose to sit was rammed with a load of people I have never before clapped eyes on. Not good.
I went and sat elsewhere. Big mistake. By the time we got to Chelmsford the train was already packed, only for another huge mob of Chelmsford arseholes to clamber on. These bastards truly have no respect for others as they barged on and through the aisle. I got a handbagged in the back of the head by some ignorant harriden as she elbowed her way through the throng.
The final insult was the tosser who made himself comfy leaning against my seat, stopping me from being able to sit back properly. Twat.
I'm now paying more than 4 grand a year for these 'service improvements'.
Doesn't seem with it somehow.
Again. We're currently sitting just short of Witham, due, allegedly, to a slower train ahead.
I sincerely hope that the 'slower' train is the Braintree one or yet again we're going to be f*cked over by these incompetent bastards...
Update:
Apparently, the Braintree train was also being held ahead of the one I was on waiting for the previous, late-running Braintree service to clear the branch line. Phew!
