The earlier one than that leaves at 5:15am
Off Peak Open Return is £57 (and I couldn't leave London until 7pm)
Normal Open Return is.... wait for it... £158
So I'm saving the planet (assuming that my share of the emmisions on the train is actually lower than the Civ will kick out), but costing the company an extra £120.
Plus the £10 it will no doubt cost for the cup of dodgy train coffee and microwaved lump of gristle ina bun LOL
anyho - enough for now, otherwise I'll be too wound up to sleep and end up missing the train anyway   |
A day out with Worst Great Western, how nice
If I had noticed this last night, I could have told you that all FGW HST coaches now have 240v power sockets near each seat. No need to worry about the laptop going flat whilst working on the train, or watching a film. I hope you found this out today anyhow
And they do some nice marmalade biscuits as well.
