There are absolutely no trains going either way through Vauxhall at the

signals for about 10 minutes now.

I bet the people on the Eurostar that has been sat in Vauxhall for half
an hour now wished that they had gone on the plane. You know the ad, by
now you would be, well sitting in Vauxhall.


Indeed. It's unheard-of to get on a plane and then be stuck on the
tarmac at Heathrow for 45 minutes. Imagine the furore if that were to
happen!

What's that, Skippy? "Loads of flights get stuck on the tarmac awaiting
take-off, and the average delay on short-haul flights is far greater
than the average delay on intercity trains"? Wash your mouth out with
soap, Skippy: we'll have none of that Commie train-loving talk round
here...
