...OK. I see a lot of negative feedback about this, and I'm not surprised.

DISCLAIMER: This is not meant to intend the producer, perfeorer of the video or anyone affected by the floods. Or anyone in general. This view is a personal opinion only and is not to be taken as fact.

Nah, I can see why. The floods aren't funny. But I find the video funny.
You can still be light hearted about something bad. Christ, if you weren't then everything would be damn miserable.

You are right there. I can see why that guy was booed by youtubers, but I'm sure someone could do it and be pretty funny about it without causing offence to anyone.

I suspect the people who are "light hearted" about this sort of thing won't have been affected at all by it.

Tell that to the few hundred thousand people in Hull who have had all their lifelong possessions destroyed...

It's called sarcasm my friend - of course Hull is not being light-hearted!

Ok, So maybe Banbury Train station was flooded meaning NO Vomiters <(

"Update" --
Chiltern Railways said:
Because of a landslide following Friday's heavy rain our railway line remains closed between Leamington Spa and Banbury. The Stratford-upon-Avon line is also closed because of flooding.

Trains will run Birmingham - Leamington Spa and Banbury - London Marylebone, with replacement buses running between Leamington Spa - Banbury and Stratford-upon-Avon - Banbury.

There is no direct service between Stratford-upon-Avon and Leamington Spa at present.

For travel between the West Midlands and London and vice versa, our tickets will be accepted by Virgin Trains on the London Euston line.

Network Rail have said that the line between Leamington Spa and Banbury is likely to re-open on Monday.

Please check our Real Time Information for the latest updates.

Aylesbury line services

Planned weekend engineering work on the Aylesbury and Amersham line has had to be altered as the heavy rain has caused damage to an embankment at Stoke Mandeville. Click here for the updated timetable for today.

I think Network rail employees are loving the overtime ;)

I see from the filename that the bottom one is Moreton-in-Marsh - what's the top one?
