The Wrong Train (31 January)

Public transportation in London often works very well. Then again, it's also expensive (but what isn't in London?), frustrating, and crowded. But I had a surreal experience on a rail platform today, while waiting for my train:

I didn't even know until this happened that cargo trains used the same tracks as the usual commuter trains. Watching a train that I couldn't get on rush by while I continued to wait for a passenger train that was late really rubbed in the fact that getting around London sometimes takes a bit of patience!
