Kids' school is open again this morning, so I do the honourable thing and drive them there before making for the station. God how I miss driving to work. Heater that you work yourself, radio, wide seat, no forced bodily contact and, above all, that feeling of being in CONTROL (either of the car, or, when you hit the ice, your sphincter muscles if you are lucky).
Check the FCC website before heading to the station. Emergency snow timetable, with one train only every half hour. Am informed by very good friend, follower and fellow traveller that the station is packed, and trains arriving at the station are already full. Decide to press on. Arrive at the station just after a London bound departure to find the crowds have thinned, and I get on the next train without difficulty.
I'm pleased to have missed the morning's chaos, but I don't understand FCC's plans for the day at all. The timetable suggests half hourly trains all day, until around 9pm when it will all stop. Surely if they can run trains, they can run trains, and the timetable should gradually return to what they laughably call 'normal' once the trains all get to the right place? By simply running trains every half an hour are they not just perpetuating the problem of all the trains being in the wrong place?
