This happened back in the Feburary half term holidays when I was to get the 14:45 desiro from Feltham to Waterloo in order to get the 15:45 to Sutton (which was still slammer then ). Had I of caught the 14:45 to Waterloo, I would've arrived at Waterloo at 15:20 ish and had enough time to get to London Bridge with time to spare. Anyway I hopped off the 285 bus from hatton cross at Feltham, I could see my train pulling in (well not really, but the level crossing gates were down and I could hear it), then I put my ticket in the machine, it said "SEEK ASSISTANCE." This made me feel puzzled as to why it refused my travel card as it went through the barriers at Uxbridge, Heathrow T123 and Hatton Cross.
I walked to the manual gate where a SWT woman was standing, I asked her politly to let me through and she just snapped at me saying "You don't know how much this manicure costed me!"
This meant I missed my train, and the connection for the Sutton slammer just because the female SA didn't want to damage her nails :x hock: :?
The next train wasn't till 15:05 because the 14:50 was cancelled. I would've made it to London Bridge if I did not have to wait that 2 minutes for a Networker to London bridge. To add insult to that injury, the slammer was just pulling out of the platform as I ran for it :x
It didn't really matter because I did the slammer the next day with my Grandad. I also didn't make a complaint because it would've been an Invalid reason etc..
What I'm saying is the sods law of missing all my connections just because of that incident :roll:
