Train driver laptop plea

A train driver borrowed a passenger’s laptop to find out why he was stuck at signals for three hours.

He appealed for a computer as he could not get through to his control room in London for an explanation.

The driver went on the intercom, saying: “I can’t find out what’s going on. Has anyone got a wireless laptop?”

But after looking at the South West Trains website, he told jeering passengers: “Apparently, there are no delays.” Hundreds of irate travellers were stuck on the train between Basingstoke and Woking after heavy rain flooded tracks.
