Train Staff Can Be Utter Retards

My journey home from London this evening was unexpectedly extended when the retard who was in charge of closing the train doors stopped at least four people (including myself) from getting off at Guildford and thereby making us detour via Farncombe.

One of the ladies was (understandably) rather upset and gave the aforementioned retard a fair bit of abuse as the train picked up speed and quickly left our prefered destination behind. He didn't take kindly to this (understandably) but did make an effort to arrange a taxi to take the group of four bemused travellers back to Guildford from the next stop, although it was not entirely clear where we would be picked up or how long we would have to wait.

So we waited by the two police vans that seemed to be lurking near the station, but were thankfully picked up by the husband of the lady who was previously expressing her dissapointment with the situation, and I ended up back at Guildford station about half an hour later than I should have.

I'll demand some sort of rebate on my ticket price, and hopefully the procedure to do so will be slightly less inconvenient than the journey itself.
