Yes, I'm talking to you, lanky, grubby, consumptive looking piece of chav scum on the Victoria train to West Croydon, throwing your revolting McDonald's burger in the general direction of your orthodontically challenged mouth and drinking your litre of coke with the sound track of a burns victim getting their lungs vacuumed.
Pretty sure you’re Stephen Fry, right!k these disgusting scum can't either eat before they get on the train or wait until they're home is entirely beyond me.Yes, I'm talking to you, lanky, grubby, consumptive looking piece of chav scum on the Victoria train to West Croydon, throwing your revolting McDonald's burger in the general direction of your orthodontically challenged mouth and drinking your litre of coke with the sound track of a burns victim getting their lungs vacuumed.

The employee of Abellio Greater Anglia (had the full uniform and branded overcoat on) who boarded an early train into London this morning and sat on a seat with a few discarded tissues strewn about (disgusting in itself), who merely threw the tissues onto the seat behind her and the floor, despite the bin being less than 5 feet away.

we spent six and a half hours getting out of Kings cross at the weekend
people almost rioting as the trains were cancelled,
managed to get seats in first class, the 10 people sat on the floor were not so happy.
I was there alsopeople almost rioting as the trains were cancelled,
managed to get seats in first class, the 10 people sat on the floor were not so happy.
I couldnt help but think of all the billions to be spent on HS2, all we want is more trains, clean trains and trains that you can rely upon. Keep the ultra high speeds, I would trade that any day for a good train service.

To be fair the trains companies specifically said "do not travel on Sunday unless its absolutely essential"people almost rioting as the trains were cancelled,

Its better that theyy cancel trains in those conditions - I have been on one that stopped when power lines came down on a storm, we were stuck on a train with no light, heat or toilets (they are all electric) for 8 hours. We then had to cross a gangplank in lashing rain and howling gale onto a train on the next line. We were then taken in the wrong direction to a closed station at Stoke on Trent were we waited for another 3 hours for a train. As the station was closed we could not leave the platform.
I'd take 6.5 hours at Kings Cross over that journey every time.

People who sit on the inside of a 2 seat pew leaving the window seat empty. A new development on my line.
So the have to get up , sometimes more than once. Why? I always think the window seat is preferable.
Feet on seat scum is always a tough call. What is wrong with people these days...
I’m one of those annoying people, sorry! But the way the new trains are designed, the window seat has a large box underneath the seat running down the side, that sticks out about halfway of the width of the seat. So the have to get up , sometimes more than once. Why? I always think the window seat is preferable.
Feet on seat scum is always a tough call. What is wrong with people these days...
So whichever foot is on the window side has to be forced into what I imagine is used as a Guantanamo stress position for 30mins +
So I sit on the aisle seat, but I do look up to let people have the window whenever we stop.
However that usually always seems to be some poor 6ft5 bloke, who can’t fit his legs behind the tiny space they give you, so he has to put his knee half way over into my aisle seat.
This is not annoying people on a train, but poor design that leads normal people into having to be annoying on a train by default
