But then you miss out on the odd gem like this one side of a conversation I still remember years down the line:

“Alright babe.
Nah.
Nah.
She was hit by a bus.
Nah.
That’s just me babe.”

Once on a rail replacement bus the woman behind me had a phone conversation where she was really calmly saying “Yeah, just coming back from the specialist… yeah it’s terminal”. Really upset me for days afterwards.

It’s not that much different to not having toilets on Tube trains, or Overground trains.

I can’t imagine there will be too many folk travelling from Maidenhead to Abbey Wood or Shenfield on a regular basis.

If there’s loos at the vast majority of stations (something which isn’t the case at most Overground and Underground stations) I don’t really think there’s much of an issue.

People smoking where other people can’t avoid your smoke is the worst, can’t stand people who do it and wish I had the guts to call them out for it.

Sorry to hear you got racially abused for that :frowning:

That’s against Railway Byelaw 6 (I think, if I recall correctly from the last conductor that cited it) and punishable by Police caution

It’s also pretty skanky.

Had to call out someone smoking next to me at a LCD Soundsystem gig earlier in the year. Told them I had asthma (true, although it wasn’t affecting my breathing specifically). TBF, they apologised and put it out straight away, but did light up again later when we were a few feet further apart.

It’s quite a big deal for people with bowel conditions.

The best thing about this is you can pick the fight without having to say anything. Given the chance I will always sit in the seat in front of someone doing this.

I remember hearing a man shout, ‘it’s lethal mate’ about ten times down the phone during a conversation. Imagined the person on the other end of the line was trapped in a room with a posionous snake in it or something

Done this as well. They gave me a very foul look, but did put their fag out.

Thinking about it a bit more, if Crossrail wasn’t going to Heathrow, I think it would probably be defensible on the basis @he_2 gives - few people would be travelling all the way through the core.

Since it is going there though, I think more people could be making long journeys than otherwise would have done and so it perhaps should have included them. Can’t remember if the Heathrow spur was an agreed thing by the time the trains were ordered or not.
