What a mess last night around 5pm-6pm.
Get to Baker Street from Jubilee -destination Pinner.
''Severe delays'' due to I think defective train at Farringdon or somewhere down that end.
Two Uxbridge trains on the trot,plus Amersham fast on the boards.No Watford or Chesham all stations in sight.
Advice given over the PA ''get on first train to HOTH and then get Watford train from there''
Now then ,I know that trains to Watford rarely have started from HOTH(correct me if I'm wrong) but being a good passenger(sorry customer) I take the packed Uxbridge train and alight at HOTH.Platforms heaving.No PA ,no staff on platforms,nobody in the little booth.Went up the stairs hoping to find somebody in the know but all I found was a pleasant but disgruntled driver who also knew nothing more than I did.
Eventually Watford train pulls in-full !! Obviously started at Baker St.Why did I bother getting on the Uxbridge one?Should have followed my instinct.Then it sits there for 6 minutes ''waiting for the Chesham train''
Eventually chugs off and arrive at Pinner having taken well over an hour from Green Park.
As a postscript the train was filthy,smelly ,littered and generally unsavoury.
Any explanations will be appreciated.The service seems to be deteriorating every day.The interminable engineering works seem to be having little effect.
