You see, this is a mile race, you understand?

She doesn't want any so we're not??

- Look, I want yours. - Yeah, fine.

Bernie, the 12:40 boat train, Pretoria Castle, is 20 minutes late at Woking.

The steamship Pretoria Castle boat train has been delayed...

and is now expected to arrive at 12:55.

The steamship Pretoria Castle boat train is now approaching Platform 11.

- Yes, please? - I'm awfully sorry, I've...

I've lost the 2:40 to Weymouth.

And I'm just astounded. I've travelled on that line for years

and they tell me there's no train.

There's no train, no. That's perfectly correct.

But I've travelled on that train for years, I know it so well.

- I used to take my children back to school on that line. - I see.

Union-Castle lines are the only people who would have the passenger list.

Is it? How do I get a hold of them?

For years I've been travelling on that train.

Not at 2:40. We've never had a 2:40 to Weymouth.

- Yes, really? What am I to do? - We've taken it...

- I've got a car waiting there for me. - Well, I'm afraid now...

- It's awfully awkward. - Well, I'm afraid there's not a lot we can do.

The 2:30 was cut out..

Is it possible to change? I was going to Hersham...

- ...I rang my friend... - Where are you going, ma'am?

Well, I'm not going anywhere. My friend isn't coming.

I've been waiting nearly an hour and a half...

...and she hasn't arrived so I've been on the phone.

Thank you very much.

One and dog to Chiswick, please.
