And we're currently sitting outside of Chelmsford because the bloody signals are f*cked again.
We should be approaching Liverpool Street by now but we've not even got to Chelmsford to allow all the arseholes on yet.
Doubtless they'll be swarming all over us when we finally get there.
It's just a joke...
Another shambolic, f*cked up day on the railways.
We've just left Witham where the drone on the tannoy is blithely advising punters to "...avoid travelling..." if they "...can avoid it..." and we were forced to wait for a late-running train to go through due to some balls-up towards Colchester.
As we left, the automated was pissing people off by announcing a cancellation.
It's amazing how these f*cktards keep their jobs.
Update: said balls-up is yet more late-running engineering works. Late-running by 5 hours according to our driver!
I'm just speechless...
This bollocks in an email from the dickheads at GA half past four this afternoon:
"There is no disruption reported at this time between London Liverpool Street and Braintree."
And then this gem by text less than 10 minutes later:
LST to BTR on your route: a fault with the signalling system may cancel: The 17:20 and 18:00.
And yes, it's bloody Friday and typically this shower of shit are f*cking up the world and his wife again
Weather cyclists seem to have all dusted off their bikes and started cycling to Braintree station again as spring starts to warm up.
The bike racks which have been all but deserted all winter apart from the die-hards like me are now full of shiny, barely used machines which appear pristine compared to the manky, shit-coated thing I've been riding all year.
It would help if the useless pricks at Greater Anglia made the new bike rack in the car park available. It's STILL barred off a good eight weeks after it was installed. What are GA playing at?
Arseholes (fair-weather cyclists and GA alike).
And, true to form, the wankers at Greater Anglia have seen fit to cancel the 0726 again.
The reasons de jour are overrunning engineering works or another f*cked up train. Take your pick, they've used both excuses this morning.
Whatever, it still means another late start and finish at work today.
Installed in the station car park at Braintree over six weeks ago.
