Dam!

So it rained a bit in England recently, you may have noticed by looking at the news/window/drenched people. There was actually quite a bit of rain, enough in fact to wash away substantial parts of the Great Malvern to London line. Did the good people at Great Western let this get them down? Did they balls, no they manned up and got my train to London via a circuitous route at EXACTLY THE SAME TIME AS NORMAL, despite the not inconsiderable difficulties in doing so.

Well done.

So you can imagine my joy when London Underground were unable to get me a connecting train back to Paddington (2 stops) the following day for more than half an hour, thus making me miss the now fully functioning return trip. Not only that they gave no explanantion or apology for buggering up several hundred peoples lives/friday night/weekend. It really beggars belief.

Final Score.
Great Western Trains - 1003
London underground - NIL
