100 Quid To Stand

[pastafreak]

DD just texted me. On train from London...and standing.
She's gonna be in a **** mood when she gets here...she wants ciggies. :-(

She should have booked a seat!

Friday out of london thats normal. She's lucky to have a train really!

[pastafreak]

Not sure why she didn't book. But it's been a while since she's taken the train. She usually has the luxury of being driven down.

That's appalling. Even if it's the "norm" at this time of the week it's criminal to charge £100 to ride in a cattle truck.

I'd get the vino chilled if I were you.

[pastafreak]

It's in the fridge! Maybe I should get another bottle when I buy the ciggies...;-0

You can't book a seat with all operators. I always travel off peak if I can and ideally book far enough in advance to get an affordable first class deal.

My Mum used to travel down from London to Devon on the steam trains in the 1950s. She quite often had to stand. It seems things don't change
