The comic was heading from Rugby to a performance in Margate
Jason Manford was forced to pay £300 for two taxis after he was stranded in Northampton during the heatwave travel chaos. The comedian was left stranded when his train was cancelled - and he begged fans for help.
But the day went from bad to worse as Jason revealed his next train had been cancelled as he raced to make his show in Margate, reports the Daily Express. Posting a screenshot of the bad news, he wrote: “Haha and now this! I’m trying to get trains to save the planet & the planet is kicking my a**!” Jason then live-tweeted his journey in the boiling hot car for the £90 journey. “Right, managed to leave chaos of Rugby behind! Tried to share cab to London with 5 others but got bumped off last min cos someone cried!” he shared.
