What an inconvenience to the ordinary people, last Monday evening we missed trains and who is responsible in creating this misery to us, why can't you arrange a heli ride for these VVIP's?

willowsd has an excellent suggestion - use helicopters and save us poor road users the hassle of road closures and traffic snarls.
