Just an additional thought - of course they have to do maintainance to the railway lines or we could end up with a dangerous situation which could lead to derailment and death. Personally I'd rather be delayed in my journey than in danger. My grandfather worked on the railways and they always used to try to do maintainance at times when it was likely to disrupt as few people as possible. (ie not holiday times or midweek) Of course it's bound to inconvenience some people whenever they do it but a delay like you had is very unusual and certainly unacceptable.
