The delays for what from 20 mins had become hours and the train stations (especially CLJ) were very overcrowded and the passengers' faces in total upset. The fact that there were little information on the revised times of the trains and incorrect information being relayed were enough to make people worried. But I guess, there is hardly a way to overcome this incident without all these inconveniences and confusions. Even those platform staff couldn't be much clear about any info. I have seen people crying as well.
I wonder why this has caused such a huge impact on the rail network services after all it was only one station that had to be closed. The delays were so long and I couldn't believe my eyes that, in London, this single incident caused this much of a trouble around and the management went as bad as it could be. It is understandable! It must have been a hard day for the railway staff and it is in fact not so easy like rearranging blocks and puzzles, to get train times and trains around here and there. Maybe I am saying this because I got to where I wanted on time whereas 90% of the passengers were having a worse day. Forget it if its a Friday but this is mid-week and it is quite annoying to go through such trouble.
One thing that is still strange and so mysterious to me is that, the same incident happened at the same station on the same date (23.09.08) last year as well. You can read it here. Happened to come across this page while I was searching if there were any sort of news out about what has happened today. Same date, same place,
Waiting to read the newspapers tomorrow...
My sincere sympathies to her family and friends.
Good night.
PS: Wrote this second time. Of course, not as lengthy as the first one but I just wanted to blog it now though shorter, considering that I might not be able to come to blog until get free time.
Ah, I wish I was a little more multi-tasker!!!
