Andre, the first letter in your second sentence was not a capital, it was a lower-case 'a'. Appalling, really appalling. Must do better if you are going to throw stones in this glass-house!

Agree full heartedly with Andre. Are people actually paid to put this stuff together?

Perhaps the passenger knew about the delays on this route and decided to go prepared for a night out.

Guide dogs for the blind. It's cruel really, isn't it? Getting a dog to lead a man round all day. Not fair on either of them

Fantastic! an image which bears no relation to the story and also a sentence that does not make sense: "British Transport Police said officers were to Stratford International" Were they called to? Flown to? sent to? bungee-jumped into?
