Trains

I love train journeys.
Well, I used to. But now I have to take a train to college 4 times a week and they get on my nerves. I admit I still enjoy the journey and that, but they are so unreliable and the drivers and guards don't tell the passengers the problem when there is one.

Take today for example. I was on the 7:45 train from Liphook. Amy was with me as she had an exam at 9 so had to be in earlier than usual. We get to Haslemere and usually we have to wait 15 minutes for the fast train to overtake which is fine but today they announced 'this service will now be the fastest train to London Waterloo and will leave before the fast train due to a problem with platform 2' (problem being the un-scientific word for whatever it was) and we were like okay, that's fine. The train usually leaves Haslemere at 8:07 so when at 8:00 the train leaves, Amy and I start panicking. I knew the train would stop at Guildford as they all do, but they don't all stop at Godalming so Am might have been screwed. And why did it leave Haslemere early. We arrived at Witley and no one as the platform. Makes sense seeing as the train wasn't due for another 7 minutes. But it kept going anyway. Only then did the driver decide to tell us that they were leaving all stations early and would be stopping at all the stations. Grrrr. Why not before????


Anyway, to sum up, train journeys are fun when they don't fuck up.
