the great thing about stafford-nottingham is that although it takes longer than it would to walk, when you pull out of derby (and who hasn't) apart from the joyous glee of leaving, you leave the same way you came in

Line closed for maintenance Stopping for half an hour just outside your station Inexplicably not stopping at your station to save time

Add to that list
Surly, scruffy staff, who can never help with your query and look pissed off that you thought it was acceptable to ask them for help/advice.
"Joining" 2 trains with such force that you slip a disk.
"Seperating" a train, leaving you in a carriage on a station as the train disappears into the distance.
Only employing people with elocution on a par with an inebriated somerset village idiot for the announcers, all in the name of "equal opportunities".
Giving you the wrong ticket/overcharging you in the ticket office, seconds before your train arrives so you have no option to argue/remedy the situation.
3 different members of staff giving you 3 different prices for the same journey on the same day, same time etc.
Weirdos who come and sit next to you.
Being given the wrong information by staff regarding which train this is pulling into the station.
Staff asking to check your ticket every time they go past you, because they have the memory span of a goldfish.
The smell of trains.
The lack of indoor waiting rooms on many stations.
The shit, overpriced, stale food in the "restaurant" carriage.
Whoops, looks like I exceeded my allocated 3. I really, really hate British public transport with a passion.
