44068

Friday’s trains are always that little bit more empty which means a better chance of a double-seat (check) and a better chance of getting a snap of Carriage A without looking too much of a dunderhead (check).

Today’s snap of 44068 (on the 06:57 to Paddington) also includes one of the cycling fraternity, who is quite happy to turn himself into an even dafter looking spectacle in lycra by becoming a walking (or cycling) advert for mineral water. What you can’t quite see are the shorts which were similarly adorned.

I mean, wearing a replica football shirt is one thing, but become Mr Gerolsteiner is something quite else.
