One Woes

One Railway know how to make a drama out of crisis.

Police were called in at Liverpool Street to keep order, because rail staff found it difficult to deal with the situation, he added.

Mr Attoe said: "The staff had no clue what was going on.

"We were arriving at stations and passengers who had been delayed for the best part of five to six hours were literally screaming at the one member of staff that they could find demanding taxis.

"The staff were saying 'no' they were ignorant and arrogant. One member of staff swore at me. They just didn't want to know and they really didn't care."

All caused by overhead line failure, courtesy of Notwork Rail. Not our fault, guv. Typical ongoing result of John Major's stupid fragmentation of the railways. Train companies shaving staff and capacity to the bare minimum to operate the normal timetable, with no contingency to cope with problems. And then when something does go wrong, it's always somebody else's fault when it all goes into meltdown.
