@lukerobertblack @EmmaBest22 @CityHallTories And we had a Tory Mayor before Sadiq Khan, and nightlife still didn't really exist then. What is your response to that please?



My morning so far…I feel the need to get this off my chest 🤣🤦🏼♀️ At London Waterloo I tried to board my train as soon as the platform was announced, but my ticket wouldn’t scan. Showed the guy my ticket & asked him to pls let me through the barriers. He said ‘no, you need to use your ticket’. I showed him ticket & explained it wouldn’t scan. He shrugged & told me to ‘go & see that woman there’. Woman had a queue of people so I asked if she could let me through, she told me ‘no, you have to wait your turn’. I waited, but conscious I only had minutes left, in desperation, I tried to buy another ticket at the machine, but the contactless wasn’t working. I tried to get another via the app, but it wouldn’t work (presumably because now, it was so close to departure?). Anyway, I returned to the barrier exasperated. Please, I said to ‘the woman’, can you help me because I really need to board the train which is about to depart. ‘No. Wait your turn’ was again the response. I went to two other staff members at the gates & showed them my ticket and said ‘please, can you just let me through the barriers’. ‘No, she needs to say we can’ was the response. Anyway, you guessed it - I missed the train.😩🤬 As I said to all the staff members, if I had just turned up to the train & barged through the barriers, ticket-less, as so many seem to do these days, I would have been happily on the train and en route to the destination… Makes me wonder why we bother trying to do the right thing 🤷♀️ Argh! Anyway, I feel better now having got that off my chest! 😉
