Nothing like a bit of Autumnal rail chaos to brighten up your day. Reading station absolutely rammed this morning due to an issue with overhead cables between Maidenhead and Paddington (apparently they were shredded by one of the new trains) meaning that there were no services from the West of the country getting into London at all. The only route still limping along was from Reading into Waterloo (a local service) for which this (see picture) was the queue. I always find it best to try to relax when faced with situations like this, often you see people getting madder and madder to the point of super-nova but in the greater scheme of things it's only one day and there are plenty of nice coffee shops and bars in Reading to wile away a couple of hours* doing email while the crowds disperse..
*Update - gave up waiting, life too short, went home :(
