Snow-related hilarity.

I live in the South-East and commute into London to work. This means that my trains are fucked - so fucked, in fact, that mine lost power on its way home tonight.

The driver's solution?

Yes. "As you can probably see, ladies and gentlemen, I've lost power to the train, so I'm going to try rebooting it."

I'm still giggling.

Hee! That's even better than our coffee vending machine :) (It lies about having run out of cups from time to time and has to be rebooted to sort the problem out...)

Rebooting is the miracle cure that medicine can only dream of :)

I've known photocopiers to need it, too, but they're so notoriously unreliable that it's hardly surprising when it happens.

He used that to fix a train?! Did it work?

Glad to hear you're finding amusement in your commute!

It did work! Temporarily, I'll admit, but it gave us enough of a boost to get into the station on momentum. We were just lucky it's slightly downhill.

Maybe this is naive, but I love my commute. I get forty minutes of uninterrupted writing time a day, plenty of exercise slogging up and down hills, and the opportunity to watch people. The occasional sardining is worth it.
