Checking the Silverlink Metro site before I leave for work, this is the latest message on their service:

06:42 Watford Junction Dc to London Euston due 07:32

TRAIN DELAYED: This train has been delayed and is now 8 minutes late from Harrow & Wealdstone D.C..
This is due to unwell train.

Unwell train?

Some of the people who work for TOCs are normal humans like Chris, and really *care* about their trains ;-)

I had an announcer at Seven Sisters tell the platform i was standing on that the out of service train had to "go back to bed" as it "had a hangover"

there was a person (connected to my work) who needed to have expenses paid for a *chauffeur* as the person was 'allergic to public transport' (plus the fact that the person couldn't drive) the mind boggles @_@
