Small World. I got on at Basingstoke, and I honestly do not recall any announcements as to the reason. Being a railway employee myself I tend to listen for these things, but i'll assume I missed something. You'll know what you did better than me!

You guys normally do an excellent job (the staff on the silverlink trains I took to get to Euston were pathetic by comparison), so I apologise if I've wrongly accused you of anything.
Thats okay. No offence was taken anyway :)

Sorry it took 5 days to reply, I have just move my BBand provider and house in one foul swoop, and it took a while.
