Angry commuter who thought he was Indiana Jones

I read the story, last week, of an ENRAGED commuter who climbed onto the outside of a WAGN morning peak-hour train and hung on as it reached speeds of up to 60mph - because there was not enough room inside the carriage! The story was picked up globally as the rest of the world knows only too well of the state of our railways...how shameful! Last week, although bad, I suffered along with everyone else, the delays and cancellations, after all, it seemed no worse than the usual service WAGN cobble togther. This week so far, seems no better, broken doors kept the 5.55 from Liverpool St for 20 mins last night and this morning, the 8:10 was diverted via Seven Sisters because of power failures, or a broken down train in Ponders End, whoever you happen to listen to, making me half an hour late!..Nothing new, as I say, but not only do i have to make up the time at work but I'm also having to txt or ring up either my work, coming into the City or my wife, coming home from the City, tell tell them how late I'm going to be....then picking up the bill at the end of the month from Orange! ..nice! :)
