First Great Western isn’t giving me much material to work
with here. For at least the past 2-3 weeks all my trains have been running on
time (give or take the odd minute or two) and I haven’t experienced a dreaded
cancellation for quite a while.
Even my travelling companions are behaving themselves, well
as much as a carriage full of shaved chimps can do anyway. Today’s victim kept
himself to himself and apart from the tinny hiss of his headphones he slept the
whole way into London, the only noise being a surprised grunt when he was woken
for a ticket check.
The only other disturbance was someone kicking off when they
were kicked off (see what I did there?) at Reading after they’d got caught
using an off-peak ticket. “But it was the one they sold me at the office mate”
wailed the unfortunate fare dodger, although he soon ditched the
blame-it-on-the-ticket-office routine and settled instead for the tried and
tested effing-and-jeffing-swearing-his-head off methodology.
This punctual commuting is all very well, but it’s not very
amusing. I had to relieve the boredom this morning with this pithy comment on
the state of Thatcham Station from @3rdRateWestern
It must have been my new aftershave. HA!
