So a couple of weekends ago I went to stay the weekend at my lovely boyfriend's house in Halifax (Yes it really is a place, not just a bank).
I always like to get to the platform at least half an hour before the train arrives because i'm a little bit OCD about these things. There was a train to London due to arrive about 15 minutes before mine, and I noticed it had got cancelled and then uncancelled. People seemed a little confused about this, and the train being cancelled again lead to even further confusion. Everyone was talking to each other about this, and a woman turned to me and gave me look as if to say "What the fuck is going on?!". Immediately my childish appetite to be part of the crowd kicked in, and I responded with "wow this is so annoying I don't know what to do now". Soon I was queen of the adjourned platform community, ranting about British rail and the cost of train tickets. Awkwardly for me though, the train was then uncancelled again. Everyone rushed on board and I almost thought i'd gotten away with it, when the original woman turned and said "aren't you getting on?!" I replied "no" and hung my head in shame.
