Maybe I’m expecting too much.

My train (2 hour journey) was cancelled because of a trespasser and then it reopened but it had double the amount of people due to earlier cancelled trains.

The train kept constantly stopping (they did no announcement as to why) it was getting more and more delayed, so many people crammed in one space, heat and ave, no air con.

It then got stopped again because of another trespasser. In all a 2 hour journey took 4.5 hours. It was horrendous.

Well common sense would also tell you that you weren’t there so maybe it wasn’t that simple. ALL trains coming in from that area were cancelled. Because you see when someone’s on the lines, they don’t hop on and off letting some trains come through and some not.

So whilst I was working out if I could get a train that was running and then get a connection, my train was suddenly ok to go again, so I had to rush up the stairs and down to get to my platform - which was announced by a guard shouting it and not on the board.

Well - phew that you managed to go an extra two hours without water. You would have been fine but, if you weren't, you should have just got off and got some water rather than worrying about being on the train.

This happens with trains all the time. If you are a very thirsty person, you will know for the next time to make sure that you have water on you rather than relying on the train staff to bring you water!!!

We had a plane for 12 hours that had no water onboard, noting at all. Now - i was thirsty then.
