So I was going out to the theatre this evening. I left home in plenty of time, having checked that the trains were running OK when I left. When I got to the station, the train was shown as a few minutes late.

Then I stood on a cold platform, and the train was getting shown as later and later. It got in about twenty minutes late, but that re-scheduled it so it went fast to Waterloo instead of stopping at its normal stops.

I got into Waterloo with 25 minutes to get the tube up to Leicester Square, the nearest stop to the theatre. At Embankment someone had an accident in the carriage I was in and the train was delayed whilst the station staff checked he was OK. I dashed from Leicester Square to the theatre and picked up my ticket with about five minutes to spare.

And then when I finally got into my seat, after a few minutes someone came on stage and said the start had been delayed.

Only, once the show got going, this delay was remarked upon - it was actually part of the show.
