    9:58 train to Brighton delayed to 10:00, 10:01, 10:02, 10:04, then disappeared off the boards at Garwick. Incompetence = UK rail system.

        @aral Luckily, with it being privatised, you can just pop over to a competing service! *tries to keep a straight face*

        @aral disappeared after only 6 minutes? That's an higher quality level compared to Italian rail system ;)

        @aral sounds like privatized rail systems aren't any better than government-owned rail systems...

        @aral December 2009. That was when I saw a train being delayed by 315 minutes (officially). Took 30 more minutes before it actually left.

        @aral I do enjoy how they seem completely unprepared for things that happen regularly. They can't deal with snow, heavy rain or sunlight.
