Let the train take the piss
Apparently LU aren't satisfied with delaying me 3 times in 3 days, now they're making up line closures to fuck me over. Two signs at TCR gave different (and in hindsight both incorrect) pieces of information, and asking a station attendant provided me with categorical (and again, WRONG) information that the Central Line was completely suspended both ways to Leytonstone.
Apparently, however, I could have got my usual train straight through and avoided a completely un-needed half-hour delay.
I always go out of my way to support public transport, even when it has problems, but this hits its limit when my time is wasted through misinformation.
