It's freezing cold, and there are sheets of rain lashing down. An alarm is playing silly monkeys in the distance - every time you get used to it, the pattern of sound changes. The wind is sweeping down the platform and freezing, but the waiting room is very full indeed. My train is a full 20mins late, at the last count. Due to 'line congestion' at stratford, apparently - as if the motion of trains is a semirandom individual-driven process analogus to road transport, rather than a carefully orrchestrated, planned dance of people-carrying behemoths... maybe it has become that disorganised, with schedulers trying to pile trins on.
the 14:18 to clacton -third casulty of line congestion - is due in 60mins. it's 14:11. the 14:14 is apparently next up, at 14:23. the alarm has stopped, and a police car just went alarmwards. the rain is worse. more people have arrived. 14:18 due in 13mins now. no signs of my train. 14:14.
