In the grand tradition of British overreactions—like bringing an umbrella because the app said maybe—one heroic train driver decided to stay home after a storm failed to show up. That’s right: no flooding, no gales, no cows flying through the air—just a slight breeze and the nation’s most punctual excuse for bunking off.

🚂 When Storms Don’t Show, Neither Do Staff

While commuters stood on platforms like wind-whipped extras in a Coldplay video, our driver was presumably at home in slippers, sipping tea, and watching actual sunshine pour through the blinds. Why drive a train when the idea of wind might hurt your feelings?

Management says safety comes first. Fair. But this wasn’t a hurricane. This was the threat of a slightly wobbly wheelie bin. Still, services were cancelled, trains ghosted the schedule, and passengers got the classic “Your journey has been delayed due to…weather that didn’t happen.”

Somewhere out there, the storm that never came is sipping piña coladas with the snow day that got downgraded to drizzle. ☁️🍹

Britain has officially reached Peak Pre-Emptive Panic. Next we’ll be cancelling school because a pigeon looks suspiciously damp.
