Trains

You know those mornings when you wake up just knowing that whatever decision you make it will be the wrong one. Yeah well! I had to travel up to Edinburgh today. I have known this for weeks (actually months but who's counting). Been a bit distracted with other things so hadn't got around to planning. So I woke up with the possibility of flying, driving or the train. Chose the train. Whoops. Very packed, people even standing in First Class. Got in 45 minutes late. They shut the buffet car because they didn't have anyone to man it (like how does that happen, "Oh dear, just noticed we have a buffet car on this train, that wasn't expected"). Someone kindly (! their words) stood in and helped but needed exact change. And in the little brochure thing by my seat it had the nerve to say "travel by train, avoid the hassle of flying or driving". I might have words with old Richard.
