God bless Peter Hendy. We all know London’s commuter services are awful
From our UK edition
Anyone who has spent some time travelling on Southeastern’s packed-to-bursting commuter lines - elbows in the back and heads tucked under armpits - will no doubt today be cheering on the Transport for London commissioner Sir Peter Hendy: London’s commuter services are, as he says, 'shit, awful' and like 'the wild west'. Hendy singled out Southeastern as being the worst offender — and he’s right. I travel on it almost every day. Since the closure of much of London Bridge due to refurbishments, the trains at my home station of Orpington have become ever more crowded. People are forced to cram on to an ever dwindling number of services.
