Delays, ruined plans - and having to stand for hours at a time - are Brits’ top ‘rail fails’ according to research.
A poll of 2,000 adults discovered the top 15 train peeves include rail replacement bus services, loud music or videos being played and unclear announcements over the tannoy.
Similarly, seats being taken up with luggage or being used as a footrest are familiar annoyances.
While the top three most irritating rail peeves are costly tickets (35 per cent), delays (34 per cent) and overcrowding (24 per cent).
In a comedy skit, Comedian Joe Thomas has teamed up with temporary car insurance provider Tempcover to deliver a humorous take on the UK’s rail services ahead of the Easter weekend travel.
The light-hearted video brings to life some of the shared irks of travellers, including having to take the replacement bus and risking “having to pay 5 times the price of a ticket from Paris to Berlin.”
