I was at Uxbridge last week, and tried to get a Met train baack. But
just as it was about to leave, there was annociment saying it is being
taken out of service because of "mess in the train." We all had to get
off and take the next train!

OTOH, It would be nice if SouthCentral could be even half that
dedicated at keeping trains tidy...

That's another thing, apart from the vomit etc., there are also the turds
- sometimes dog but, often or not, human ones!. I must say, though, that
given the amount of passengers that travel on the trains these days and
the amount of drunk passengers that are carried at night and the state of
some of them when turfed out at Morden, there seems to be much less of the
vomit and urine around in the cars these days. Mind you, it might be
because there are more trains running so it it shared out between more
cars!
