I've been away for a while, I've just come back from a fantastic break abroad in the Canary Islands, I was sad to come back, especially considering half the UK is several feet under water at the minute.
Arrived back in the UK at 2am, and I had an hour to wait for my train home. The train finally arrived, and I got on, preparing for a two and a half hour journey. The way it was timed, I was supposed to arrive back home at 6am.
So, we leave Manchester, and everything is good. Until the train suddenly comes to a grinding hault about twenty minutes into the journey. Two conductors run down the train, and all I hear is:
Conductor 1: He's making a right scene, he's on the wrong train and needs to get to the airport.
Conductor 2: We're going to have to go back aren't we?
So, the train sat there completely still for about twenty minutes, then went BACK to Manchester!
Apparently some dumb SC got on the wrong train, then started kicking up a fuss because he had a flight to catch. For some reason, our train driver had no backbone whatsoever, so he took the SC back to Manchester!
To make things worse, when we got back to Manchester, our track was no longer clear! We had to wait another HOUR to get out of the city and underway!
So I would like to thank that customer for turning my two and a half hour journey into FOUR and a half hours, which was longer than my FLIGHT!
And please, train drivers of the UK, grow a backbone, because if you had carried on instead of going back, you would have only had one pissed off idiot. Instead you went back and had about one hundred people pissed off at you.
