You can get a free gin and tonic if your journey home is delayed tonight

Kyle Picknell

Perfect for after work on a Friday. Know anybody who needs to know about this?

You look up at the departures board. Your train is going to be an hour late. What do you do?

The answer, of course, is to get the drinks in. Obviously.

Handily, Gordon’s gin are stepping in to save delayed passengers from stress with free gin and tonics this Friday.

Launching at one of London’s most delayed stations, Waterloo, the service is called #YayDelay ­and uses an intelligent algorithm to monitor real-time train delays and tweets in order to unlock half price or free Gordon’s London Dry Gin & Tonic’s for frustrated commuters traveling through the station between 5-6pm this Friday.

Vouchers can then be claimed online and redeemed at the Slug and Lettuce outside the station.

Sometimes travelling home from work on a Friday is never as straightforward as it should be – which is why Gordon’s are trying to put a smile on everybody’s face before the weekend.

We’ll drink to that!
