Well it does help but iv been on the Central line a fair bit.

Im not quite sure why they took it from FGE to be fair its not that bad.

I think you'd be ****ed off as well.

So your telling me you nearly everytime you get a train it is delayed. My god I am glad I don't travel with you. Last time I had an issue was 1st Dec, when there where overhead lines had issues. Which means I have travelled on 40 trains without a hitch.

Anyway all this fuss was over some overhead line trouble between Limehouse and Barking that caused a half hour delay to the journey.

There is more stuff to get wound over like how come this Government is screwing us for more tax and the way Blair thinks he some bloody President.

<span style='font-family:comic sans ms'>Funny - first week of December I had a day off, but only had one journey on time (actually anywhere near on time&#33;) - I only use c2c and the Central line (if they are working....)7 out of 8 is a bad record in my book.....</span>

Yeah but I guess you do not travel at the same time as me.

6:17am and the 3:30-4pm And these trains never had a problem.

The best bit about this whole passenger charter thing is that all the rail companies have increased the time of their journeys in the timetable to give them some slack. 10 years ago a journey that would have taken 50 mins now takes 1 hour. Which when the trains are ok means sitting at the first stop for about 5mins then maybe the next one for another 5 mins.

I moaned - I signed a petition and I wrote to my MP.  It made it a bit better.  If you're so enraged - do something.

Stop moanning. At least you didn't live in Paglesham. Or Barling.

And whilst we are complaining I would charge people according to their width.

I don't pay £2500 per annum for a twenty stone woman in a puffa jacket to take up half of my seat forcing me to spend 50 minutes sitting 'one cheeked'. As anyone who travels on FGE knows if you do not sit directly in the middle of your seat you will experience crippling back pain after about five minutes.

Also anyone who puts bags on a seat, plays their walkman loud, has a loud pointless hour long conversation with someone they see twice a day or reads a posh spice/Martine McCutcheon biography would be imprisoned immediately without trial.

What&#39;s the Central Line gotta do with FGE or C2C?

Or move to London.

Although my supposedly 6 minute tube journey took twice that this morning making me 3 minutes late.

I would complain mate, how can they justify the costs when they flagrantly double your journey time.

And I bet they did not even issue an apology

At least the trains are in pretty colours now
