Compensation For Delays
 
Is it possible to argue that the current delays through speed
restrictions following fear of rails buckling in the heat is because of
London Underground not having train rails built withstand this amount
of heat? And thus London Underground are to blame?
Just remember. Where there is blame there is a claim!
And you don't even want to hear my horror story for travelling today.
Mis-infomaton. No information. Finally giving up even listening to the
announcements and taking an every man for himself approach and that's
when I finally reached the general area of my destination.

No I think this is a valid point.
If people can sue a council because they trespassed on council land
jumped in a pond surrounded by "DANGER. DO NOT SWIM" notices and claim
the council should have made it harder from them to break into the land
the pond was on.
I think commuters who suffer daily stress, distress have a good case.

The only people who suffer are those who are so inward looking that they
don't have any understanding of the how this world works and try to work
against it all the time.

Your posts seem to scoring more '****wit points' every day.


And, in this case, points for utter incomprehensibility.


May I ask why some people on this group are so rude to others ?

I'm quite new to this newsgroup, and am very interested in London's
transport, but I am scared to raise any points as I may get a barrel of
abuse.

There are some individuals on this NG (and others) who delight in slagging
off anyone and everyone. Don't take it personally.

Only to fools.

If you ask a 'sensible' question (e.g. one that hasn't already been
asked in the past few days) or make a 'sensible' point (e.g. not trying
to blame LU management for the hot weather), then you'll be fine.

If you make sweeping claims without any substantiation (e.g. claim that
public transport outside Britain never suffers from any weather-related
problems); or should anyone disagrees with you, you then erroneously
claim they are posting from an LU e-mail address - then you can expect
to receive 'a barrel of abuse'.

I don't usual respond to personal insults.
But it seems to be that its near impossible to have a debate or bring up
subjects or views that people don't agree with else you just get
insulted.
I may have criticised London Underground once or twice but I have never
made a personal attack anyone. Although been the victim once or twice.
Personally if you want to make a point to the newsgroup. Then I wouldn't
worry about being criticised. To quote one of L.U's campaigns
"It takes courage to stand out from the crowd".
******** I know for a newsgroup. But you get the drift.

Here's someone who takes things personally even when the comment isn't
directed at him. Symptomatic of a guilty conscience perhaps?
