Who teaches Virgin announcers to forever apologise for
'this *slight* delay'? What's the purpose
of the word 'slight'? To patronisingly suggest that
passengers shouldn't fuss about a few minutes, perhaps.
I bet you don't hear such things in Japan.

And is Stockport the only place where trains 'arrive
to' a platform? Irritatingly illiterate.
