I love how my younger brother thinks that sitting on my feet and playing on his iPad is a fun activity to do. ;D

Right now I am really really craving a Bacon and Egg muffin - preferably not from Maccas but those might suffice.
Mmmmmmm bacon!!!!

sorry if that was random but hey that's what this thread is all about right?

Random thought #2: What if trains and buses actually came on time?? How much better off would society be? Wow! I like to fantasise about a day when I can get there and back without copping a delayed or cancelled train or bus ;D

Haha I saw that!! It came up on my compulsory feed (Edge on Windows 10 anyone?)
I would have flipped out!! nah I probably would have been so engrossed in whatever show I'm binge watching on the train to notice haha

Typical of them though.. The truth doesn't come out until half an hour later
1st - its just a 5 minute track delay
after 15 mins - its a signalling problem
after 35-40 mins - ok we admit the whole train line is down :O

Has happened to me before too. Stuck in between two stations for a good 2 hours due to faults. It's not nice, especially when you've been working all day.

What happened to me the other day was not great while we are on this subject. Shooting occurred right near train station so all buses were running about 45 minutes late or just did not stop at the station at all.
Person that was shot fell on to the tracks and stopped all trains in that direction as he was quite gruesomely jammed up in a train. So getting home was fun that night.
Got onto a bus running 45 mins late and took 40 mins to get to a connecting bus that took about 30 mins to get me home. My house is about 10-15 minutes away from the station and it 2 hours by public transport!

Nah fam you're just really direct. Going straight to the point can be very helpful particularly in maths. Keep doing what you're doing  8)

I feel like Metro should add "ish" to the times their trains are supposed to arrive/leave because let's be realistic, they're never actually on time.
Then if my 5:45ish train is delayed, it doesn't feel so disappointing

They're actually considered on time until they're more than five minutes late. So their woeful punctuality figures don't even describe how fucking bad they are

This echoes my thoughts exactly. Metro need to lift their game.

I was on a train that was 10 minutes late, earlier today. Metro still said good service on that line, at the time. So much for "good service". ::)
