Missed a connection in London

This is actually a post I wrote some days back and couldnt post it earlier.. So here it goes.

So I was at the Finsbury Park station at 8:58am today (11th Feb) to catch my train to Newark (from where I'd take a bus to Doncaster from where I will get a train to Edinburgh; man its a journey!!). And I thought I had reached in the nick of time.

Well, as life would have it it wasnt to be a 'regular' journey. Our train was to come to Finsbury Park and there were about 30-odd folks at the station with me. And of course, the train was to stop. But it didnt.

Funny. It really was. The Public Announcement system announced the coming of our train and it came, and went. Everyone just started looking at each other, some surprised and some shocked.We asked the station master to let us know what that was about and he said the train was supposed to stop there but he didnt know why it chose to skip the station. Well, as they say, "Bade bade desho mein aisi chhoti chhoti baatein hoti rehti hain":) (In big countries
small acts like these keep happening)
