Thirsty footy fans stuck on a delayed train ordered a booze delivery from Uber Eats mid-journey after running out of beer - with just 60 seconds to collect it as they passed through the station. Daniel Adams, 32, Jordan Sullivan, 26, and friends were on their way to watch West Ham play in Brighton and had stocked up on supplies.
But delays saw their one-hour journey ending up being three-and-a-half hours, meaning they ran out of alcohol just halfway into their journey. The group of seven had taken two beers each for their 10am train from London, which didn't arrive in Brighton until 1.30pm.
As they were approaching Three Bridges station in Crawley, West Sussex, Jordan was inspired to put in an order with Uber Eats hoping that they'd be able to time their arrival with the delivery drivers. Electrician Daniel was so convinced that they wouldn't be able to pull off the plan that he promised to give the delivery driver £20 if he managed to get the four beers and two ciders to them.
