Here's a new game for us all to play when we're on a journey:
https://londonist.com/2016/01/train-bingo
Train Delayed? Play Londonist Train Bingo
Train late or cancelled again? Fed up hearing the same old excuses? Us too. Print off our Londonist Train Bingo card and take it with you on your next journey. Get a full house in one trip? Let us know. There's no prize, but you'll have our sympathy.
"Yet another signal failure"
"Can you move down in the carriage, please?"
""Animals on the line " (extra points if it's a non-native species)
"Your train is late because the driver is missing"
"You hear the phrase: "Congestion in the London Bridge area""
"Any sort of weather-related issue (yes, even sunshine)"
"A gradual wave of tutting when the train is held for more than two minutes"
"Mad scramble due to platform alteration one minute before the train arrives"
"You've been on the train so long, strangers start talking to each other"
"Train is half advertised length. Sprinting and crowding ensue"
"Twitter and GPS prove more useful than official information"
"Driver thinks he / she is a comedian"
And one suggested in the comments area:
"Because we are following a late running stopping service"
