I know a lot of people who wouldn't have been anywhere near as tolerant as the bloke was there. Usual drills for situations like this. Nobody helps but everyone pulls their phone out to send round to anyone they have ever met as a personality replacement

Bet he realised that he was being recorded so had to try and remain a bit more tolerant
They can be seen passing along Platform 5 at Hither Green Station, heading in the direction of London, so would have been coming from Sidcup/Dartford direction.
I rarely travel on southeastern but today I traveled from st Pancras to sittingbourne. Journey there only 10 mins late but my return to st Pancras was nearly an hour late; signal problems in the gillingham area.
The good part of my return journey was seeing the Orient Express stopping at Sittingbourne station. Passengers still dinning wearing 1920's outfits/

Train is a 465 or 466 Networker.

Number?
Only filmed from the inside so difficult to be sure, but there's something about the vinyl floor covering which makes me think it's my old friend, the 610725.
No......that is MrLargos 7.26 into London........its 30 years late
It looks about the same age as most of the trains they've "invested" in. Still, a 30 year delay would at least qualify me the top band of compensation - could be looking at a payout of as much as £4.
Anyone else find this "you might be more comfortable" choice of language infuriating? They're winding me up at the moment. Tis the season to be delayed every fricking day due to laziness and ineptitude.
I see that train pretty often in the morning as I get off platform 1 at Victoria. Cheers me up slightly after the inevitable awful journey I've just had.
Anyone who watched the programme about Paddington Station recently would have seen the derailment on Platform 1 which caused havoc.
The official investigation into the derailment has been published, and it was caused by the sleepers on platform giving way, due to excess water and other detritus from passengers flushing the loo while in the station. Years of bodily waste and water leakages from the trains weakened the wooden sleepers causing them to split and the rails widen, causing the derailment.
So, lesson to be learned, don't have a dump while the train is in the station please.

Train fault tonight. Someone mentioned the annual fare increases and according time the train companies they invest 97% of their income on running costs and improvements. The lying bastards.

Probably not, but “running costs”could include anything, including massive bonuses for management
I know I’m clutching at straws......but I’m really hoping that’s @cantersaddick sitting opposite her.
Nope.
1) I'm far better looking than that.
2) I'm far too passive aggressive to actually get in a confrontation if it can be avoided. So likely I would have stood up giving her the evils for the entire journey and thinking of all they ways I could cut off her first feet and help myself to the seat.

Really? Weren't you on here boasting about refusing to give your seat to a disabled woman recently ?

@cantersaddick - You need to leave about now if you want to get to work on time tomorrow.
Had a funny feeling on Friday that I should take my laptop home with me. Not sure why, seems I had some kind of premonition that it would snow. Any hint of a delay tomorrow and I'm working from home.
That is the Belmond British Pullman of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express group. Gorgeous train.
Shame that it isn't pulled by a lovely steam locomotive but is infact pushed by a dirty diesel engine.
I thought it was a freight train about to pass through sittingbourne station when I first looked at the train. But what caught my attention was the DB sign on the front of the engine which begged the question, why is a Deutsche Bahn train doing here - either lost or we are being invaded ;o) So I was surprised when I saw the carriages full of diners. I’ve not showed any interest in trains before and suspected that my spanner roots (born on the old Kent road) were still lurking but I think I’m now a fully fledged Addick - Hurrah!
They put a Class 67 at each end which tends to spoil the visual effect. Bit like having the best midfield in the world but Hart in goal and Benteke up front.

Are you sure it was a DB sign? I'd be surprised if they got past Mainwaring and his troops guarding the Novelty Rock Emporium.

He/she may just as well have put "Ha ha ha ha ha" after 'Unfortunately'.

Snow is coming down thick and fast.
I'm not getting home for Christmas am I?
