A New One on Me
Our transport system is slowly sinking into the abyss. Not so much a return to Victorian values, as a return to eighteenth century speeds of travel. I have been inundated with complaints from my constituents about the new timetable from Didcot, where the trains now arrive 15 minutes late and there is standing room only. The London Underground is also routinely failing. This morning, they surpassed themselves. A tube station was closed because there was a “fault with the platform”. Eh?
