Well an interesting week to say the least.
My trip abroad was a disaster as I landed in Paris off the Eurostar having dined as a guest, eating Duck pate/Beef Venison and some nice pud and stilton. two half bottles of wine and I managed a full blown chunder and a case of the trotskys.
Bad enough when you are at home, when you have no hotel and are planning to travel overnight to Stuttgart its no fun, a quick visit to the Ibis, one room secured and a night of up and downs later, I came back home on the 1143 Eurostar game over for the weekend,
The only highlight Sunday evening was watching the Who live at the Electric Ballroom, particularly awesome was Baba O'Reilly.
back to work and a steady week, including doing some Ceefax work for the BBC, really dull today, not alot going on glad its POETS day.
Train delays have been the usual niggling ones
this week
Mon 26 late from Oakham 17 late from Peterborough PM 2 late from peterborough
Tues 1 late 6 late On time and 10 late respectively.
wed 2 late 1 late on time and 9 late with 100 odd standing as Midland Main Line punters for Leicester diverted via Peterborough, saw a friendly face from my old MML commuting days who is involved in the bidding for the new cross Country franchise, hope he took note that 2 car trains are no effing good on this route.
Thurs 9 late 34 late 2 late and 1 late.
Fri so far 3 late 33 late
So far caught 18 trains this week, total delay of those trains 156 minutes. Unbelievable.................
Although I have only actually been just over 20 minutes late in total getting home!
Have fun.................
