It takes time to change habits, so don't expect results overnight. Having said that, it's as possible to change as it's exciting.
The keys to patience are awareness and acceptance. If you're unaware of the arising of impatience, you won't be able to stop it. That makes awareness the key to change.
There are several ways to bring awareness into your life. The most direct is to repeatedly remind yourself to pay attention to what you're doing. Think to yourself, "Awareness" or "Attention."
Another approach is putting up colorful notes round the house. Perhaps on the bathroom mirror and the fridge. You can do the same thing at work as long as it's done in moderation.
Meditation is probably the most effective way to build awareness. Guided meditation is both fun and easy to learn, no previous experience needed. Download

Acceptance
Once you become aware of the arising of impatience it's a matter of accepting the situation as it is. The sooner you become aware of the impatience, the easier it is to accept the situation.
In the beginning awareness isn't that strong and you may become aware of the impatience quite late, but with practice you'll be able to catch it before it's rooted itself.
By accepting the situation as it is, you stop resisting it and start to flow with life. If the train is an hour delayed, what good is it to resist anyway?
Accept every moment as it is and you'll be happy.
Best of luck!
