Perhaps if they were more honest with their excuses people might not hold

What do you think the problem was? How would you describe it?



I don't know what the problem was but it was very annoying and poorly
communicated.


Thats par for the course.

Got to Arnos Green, train did terminate, to be immediately presented
with an announcement 'no trains going further than Arnos Grove, buses
stopped running 30 minutes ago, cab conpany says there are no drivers.
You cannot continue your journey from here'


Even when the buses do run from Arnos Grove its usually a 20 min wait anyway.

Not a single announcement until the only option was to turn around and


You should have walked tbh. Depending on what part of southgate you were going
to its between 15-30 mins from arnos grove at a normal walking pace.
