Heard on a centrali line train this morning at white city: "This train will

What utter utter ****wit dreamed up that rostering?

Obviously the guy was late for work. You clearly find it easier to
complain than to think.

How could he be late for work , he was driving the ****ing train behind!

You didn't say he was driving it.

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

What, you didn't volunteer?

Maybe I'm seeing this wrong, but if the relief driver is on the train
behind the one delayed in the station waiting for him how does he get
from the second train to his job in the first train? Do they link the
trains up like orbiting capsules??
