I was extremely happy to wait and that they told me what was going on, if he had just said "you are delayed indefinitely due to a security issue" then the entire train would have been up in arms and extremely unhappy.

I also remember thinking at the time, that was much better than what would have happened in Australia, where the authorities would have treated us like mushrooms, and told us nothing. Like is happening here just saying a "security" issue.
