Well he was in the cab of it. Either way , someone else should have taken

And where do you expect that someone else to be? On the platform just
in case he's needed, in which case there'll be a lot of extra hours
worked "just in case", or in the canteen 5 minutes' walk away?

I expect the person taking over the driving to be on the sodding platform
waiting for his train to arrive, not turning up 10 minutes late in a following
train. If he's not there then the duty manager should substitute with other
staff who should also have arrived at work.

Yes, the problem shouldn't have happened, but in the circumstances 5
minutes' delay is about as good as you can expect. With the current
timetables, he'll have made it up by West Ruislip.

Well thats great if you're going to west ruislip. Doesn't help the rest of
us.
