Thursday evening - After a pleasant chat with Dave the paper outside St Pancras I saunter up to the platforms to catch my usual 1755 train.
On I get, reading my standard, we pull out on time, come out of the tunnels, past west Hampstead and then there is a sharp braking sensation and we jolt to a halt after about 100 yards. Two minutes later we start moving and crawl into Cricklewood station. We then sit there for 15 minutes in silence!
Finally the train manager tells us that due to a total suignal system power failure we shall be here for at least 20 minutes. TWO hours later we depart from Cricklewood and I finally get home at 2130!
Why do these type of things never happen when i'm going to work?
