One of the worst things about living and working in London is the commute, its annoying but its part of life in the city. But for something that was built a hundred years ago and was never supposed to deal with the number of people it does today, it could be a lot worse. I’m sure i could find something to moan about that but todays moan will be about something else, locking the South Eastern train toilets in the evening.
South Eastern who already take the piss (no pun intended) with the delays, cancellations and massive price hikes. I’m sure that the new ’simplified’ ticketing system will somehow make it more expensive aswell. But the problem i have is even though i have paid an extortionate amount of money to travel freely around London I find the toilets locked on the way home. Now its not the end of the world i know but if I have a pint or two after work then I’m pretty sure even if go just before i leave the pub at some point on the 40 min home journey I’ll want to go again. You have to pay at the station (and they are locked any way unless supervised), I’m sorry haven’t I paid you enough, and the toilets are locked on the train.
They do have a reason for this, it’s so that people can’t use drugs in the toilet. Well it works wonders because i have caught a number of people up to suspicious activities in there a number of times and thats on the commute home at 6. Now they have said that you cannot drink on the trains either, sorry but you can buy alcohol on long distance rail journeys, so I take it that a new mayor wouldn’t just introduce a ‘LAW’ like this just to ‘make his mark’.
With police or transport workers supposed to be enforcing this surely they can also keep the druggies off the train and we can have our toilets back. I hate the way that our society always cater for the lowest common denominator, in this case the druggie, and bring the rest of us down. TV seems to be leading the way with reality TV and TV talent shows, i will admit that I have enjoyed some series of BB in the past. Since free view started with UKHistory being on all day every day the BBC and Channel 4 and the rest haven’t really bothered with many documentary’s that are not shock docs. When was the last Simon Schama documentary broadcast on terestrial TV cause it used to be on loads.
Any way I’ve begun waffling and moved well away from the main point but what the hell I’m the only one who is probably gonna read it.
I love a good moan! This time its train toilets. June 6, 2008
