It is most definitely a Thank God it's Friday today judging by the idiots I have already seen today. This morning a woman walking up the slight hill of my road and then breaks into a sprint at the top. All the while wearing skin tight lycra clothing that would benefit greatly from her sprinting up the hill as well.

Then a school boy with a woolly ( Read more... )

Every morning this week the trains has been delayed leading me to believe that Southeastern trains can always be relied upon to ruin your journey time. It's the Weekend at last, on Friday the station was busier than usual but I didn’t care. I just want to get going. Thursday night, when walking to Cannon Street - Cyclists and a bike stopped to let ( Read more... )

I am back. Tired and wondering why my nose is bleeding. Not sure why. Am sure you would recollect what causes such things... also have a twitchy finger - I'm falling apart. The seasons have certainly shifted back and forth over the last couples of weeks - a bit of Sun and then it is a bit colder with mist etc...

This morning I was met by a million ( Read more... )

As my title indicates, something was afoot at the Station. This is how it unveiled; This morning. I am feeling slightly shonky getting off the bus and making my way towards the Station. Clutching my bag, when the announcement is made. “We regret to inform you that your scheduled train to London Victoria this morning has been cancelled. And the next ( Read more... )

I have been running so hard lately at work that I feel I am behind on ‘life’. I have my personal email inboxes overflowing (so does my work e-mail >.<), Facebook notification increasing and Photoshopping in the back-burner, and blog posts going unwritten.

Now it is Thursday afternoon a nice day and a piping hot 'Grande Americano' I am ready for ( Read more... )

I wrote a whole post, went to add a picture and it all disappeared - not good. It was witty too. I will try and recreate it. Cannon  Street is confused today - I was on platform 1 waiting to leave, instead of the usual platform 4. There is a terrible din between  platforms 4 and 5 where men are bashing drums and making squeaky noises in an attempt ( Read more... )

Here we are - 27th July. It was raining this morning, but still there's a heat wave so the rain is good - umbrellas and coats are back. A foreign couple is waiting for the train with a buggy by me, who were debating about something and they decided to go back to the station information desk.

On board the train the three bag stooges are back by the ( Read more... )

On my way home today, the train had their windows open when it was pulling into the station. Which is a blessing, usually the windows are closed and when boarding the train. It's like stepping into hot furnace or an oven - so to speak. Being in an office all day is not cool, but personally I just want to get home at the end of the day rather than ( Read more... )

Year-on-year growth in the passenger numbers using the train has not slowed, but has increased especially in recession - six, eight or nine per cent a year, higher in some places, far outstripping Government estimates.

Overcrowding on commuter lines is.. shall we say ‘Not Cool’. We need to run more trains per hour - i.e. if instead of just 30 trains ( Read more... )
