A passenger that was today crammed on board a motionless train without air conditioning or ventilation on the hottest day of the year has revealed what it was like on board.
Kam Zaki, 47, was one of the 1,800 commuters who were stranded on the Thameslink services which had passengers feeling like they were being 'slow cooked' in 'an oven'.
The medical doctor from Brighton had boarded at West Hampstead on his way home from London after visiting the city for Dua Lipa's Wembley concert last night.
He said the train was supposed to come at 10.09am, but showed up ten minutes late before making its way south of the River Thames.
But on the junction between Elephant & Castle and Loughborough Junction, the train came to a grinding halt at around 11am and it took 10 minutes before passengers were informed that there was a problem.
