My wife works in London on Saturdays. Last week and the week before she lost clients because cable thieves took the wire. This week she’d had enough and she decided to stay in London last night. There was no way to get any information over the phone (they could only give the normal timetable and tell us there may be some changes), so we simply had to walk down to the station and find which train was or wasn’t cancelled.
This week also saw me having to return to Ipswich on Monday and losing a day’s holiday. On Thursday both me and my wife caught the 9.30 train and arrived at 1.15 AM, two hours late. In the last two weeks I have been late more often than I’ve been on time, needless to say it’s starting to be noticed. Thank God that I’m going to be able to extensively work from home next year.
At least in Ipswich we can vote out the minister responsible for railways.
