I was delayed 2 hours this evening on First Great Eastern travelling from
Liverpool Street to Wickford. This was a combination of the heat affecting
the overhead lines and two people being taken ill on trains in front.
Fortunately, I had the good sense to go to the front of the train where
seating was plentiful. I could only feel sorry for those that preferred to
pack themselves into the first four carriages of a 12 carriage train. It
must have been awful!!
