Comedy of errors!

Well winter came yesterday so finally the train operators had an excuse. Two inches of snow and everything ground to a halt, including the ability of rail staff to do their jobs apparently. Briefly:

My train was cancelled - no announcement.
Next train was cancelled - no announcement.
The train after these two only had four carriages

.....so approx 20 carriages worth of people were crammed in like sardines.

Before my train, a fast non stopping service, was allowed to depart, they allowed a slow, stopping service to depart thus slowing us down all the way as we were on the same track.

Is this what made Britain great? I think we all know the answer.
