Train driver cancels service after finding someone had urinated on his seat leaving passengers stranded on the platform

Hundreds of commuters were delayed after their train was cancelled because someone had urinated on the driver's seat.
The driver told frustrated passengers that the service from London Victoria was cancelled because he found urine on his chair.
The mysterious discovery of a pool of liquid behind the locked door of the train's driver cab resulted in the passengers having to wait on the platform.

The 21.52 Southern service had been scheduled to travel from the busy station to London Bridge last night.
Stephen Hull, who was waiting for the train, tweeted: 'My delayed train home cancelled cos somebody p****d in driver's seat.

 

'They took the entire train away cos the driver complained. Hundreds of people stuck at Victoria.'
Mr Hull said he had seen a puddle of urine in the driver's cab. Southern said they were investigating the incident but could not confirm that the suspect liquid was urine.

They said no member of the public could usually access the driver's cab and this was part of their investigation.
A spokesman for the train company said: 'The 21.52 Victoria to London Bridge service was cancelled last night following reports from the driver that the driver's seat was wet and unuseable.
'Passengers who were due to travel on the 21.52 service were able to complete their journey on the 22.22 service, and we apologise to them for the inconvenience this caused.'
Passengers were due to travel from London Bridge to Battersea Park, Clapham Junction, Wandsworth Common, Balham, Streatham Hill, West Norwood, Gipsy Hill, and Crystal Palace.
