Delays on Vict. line this morning, defective train at Blackhorse.

When I got to Walthamstow (0820), trains on both platforms, got a seat at
front of "Next Train". SA kept saying "Mind the Doors" etc - Nothing
happened.

Ten minutes later a driver arrived, SA making announcements "Operator on
this train, please move forward, please move forward now". The driver
had'nt even got in the cab. SA kept making similar, rude toned
announcements, even when the train started moving.

Obviously the driver had got held up somewhere, I think he was on the defect
train earlier on.
I know the SA's can have a tough job, but having a go your own drivers, is
it really needed ?

Most SA's who I know do a damn good job, but occasionally the odd one
creates a lasting impression.
