[enigma45]

Another little anecdote was of a lady who boarded a train halfway along the journey and saw a vacant place. She enquired "Is this seat taken?" and got the reply "No missus it's still there"

A passenger in a hurry was being a bloody pest about directions to Sloane Square and the staff got cheesed off with it so he was directed onto the eastbound Circle line which was in the platform at that time. He was enquiring at Victoria.

A well to do City gent often turned up at a Baker Street regularly but he never had a ticket and always paid excess saying where he had come from which was West Hampstead. This was reported to revenue department as station staff were sure he was on the fiddle and coming from a lot further out. Rumour had it he was travelling from Chesham. The TTI's came one day and manned the barriers and our gent turned up and said with his plum voice "West Hampstead" Now the TTI's knew for certain that the booking office at WH was open so toff was asked if the escalator was working there [there isn't one] He said yes it was....GOTCHA!!!
