A train was delayed after its driver became trapped in the toilet on board.

The driver of the Southeastern Railway service from Bromley South to Victoria had to phone colleagues to come and release the toilet’s door, which was jammed, after he nipped in there whilst waiting for the service to depart.

The train eventually left seven minutes late, but fortunately made up some time on its journey into central London.

The train driver’s misfortune amused many on Twitter, after the train line very honestly explained the delay on their account.

A Southeastern spokesperson said of the incident: “Getting stuck in the loo is enough to drive anyone round the bend, and we’re sorry to those of our passengers who were delayed.”

Enough said.
