A long-suffering commuter has set up South Western Railway (SWR) bingo in a bid to make train delays "interesting".
Mike, who wishes to remain anonymous, launched @sw_bingo on Twitter two weeks ago and already has 180 followers tweeting him service delay "excuses".
The card, which is renewed each week, includes delays due to Network Rail, congestion and disruptive passengers. There has yet to be a full house.
SWR, said it knew "how frustrating delays can be" for its passengers.
But the train operator added a "number of issues" causing delays were "outside our direct control".

He now has a few more followers since this article appeared.
