lapal_fan Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Did Levi died? I wanted to watch more videos of him nailing baconators, it was like porn, but with a sexier person in it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Cardiff to that London open return - £210* Cardiff to Swindon open return £30, Swindon to that London open return £120, total £150* same train straight through no changes Also, when at 6 in the morning the pre pay ticket machine is out of service and the station ticket office is (understandably) not open yet, it's a little annoying to be accused of 'trying it on' for not having a ticket. * alternatively, £50 of fuel, £6,50 for parking all day, drive your own car.

Wainy316 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Swindon to London £120! That's shocking, I assume that's peak though? Didcot to London (which is pretty close to Swindon) costs me £27 return off peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Yep, that's an open return so its the priciest ticket you can buy - but in that it is a business commute and I have to be there for a set time and can't be sitting in Paddington for 3 hours waiting for a cheap return train, that's the one it has to be. It's actually cheaper to hire a car for the day and pay to park it in London, which is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 27, 2014 Author VT Supporter Share Posted November 27, 2014 I hate trains. I don't mind the short hop ones that I'll catch into Town. But long haul are annoying. Expensive most of the time, overcrowded and when you do have a seat booked there's almost always some cock sat in it when you get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's obscene, I think it's £59 anytime from Didcot and it's the next stop on the same train I think (from Swansea)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a few beers on the way to the football or if travelling alone relaxing with a nice book and some music. The prices you pay in this country are disgusting though.

chrisp65 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 yep I have boycotted train use for years. Lately, I've tried to use them again but I think I'm coming around to the fact that they are just not for me. The price is the main thing, almost four times more expensive than driving and then you have to get a cab to your actual destination because Clients rarely want to meet at a train station. Yesterday my journey started with the tickety machine being out of order. The ticket office was closed (understandable it was only about 6:00am). So I get on the local link train and the seats are so rammed together I can't actually physically fit in the gap, my arse to knee dimension isn't compatible with local train seating. The ticket guy on the train doesn't come out of his little room for the whole journey. At the central train station they get all upset with me because I don't have a ticket and frankly don't believe my story and don't want to let me out to pick up my pre paid ticket! Obviously all the ticket machines are the wrong side of the barrier - it would clearly be mental to actually have a machine IN the **** station. Clearly they have to deal with a lot of scum and are conditioned to dealing with dregs - but this was now 6:30am and I was wearing a tie godammit! The main train turned up, no seat reservation tickets put out so its a Ryan Air style free for all. Other people are now eating train food so I'm getting warm fat smells and other people's jibber jabber crap conversations. I can't make phone calls for about 50% of the journey due to lack of signal. A thoroughly miserable experience and to those out there doing a regular commute, I salute you. I'll be taking the car again on Monday, saving myself an absolute wedge of money and having knee room plus my choice of smells, music, phone or silence.

I like a few beers on the way to the football or if travelling alone relaxing with a nice book and some music. The prices you pay in this country are disgusting though. I completely agree. But how often does it go to plan? In the last 2 months I've taken trains to and from Manchester, to and from london twice, to and from Cardiff and to and from Leamington. Only the trains back from manchester and the second time I went to London and back were uncrowded, and of those only the train back from manchester was there nobody in my seat (and that's because it was about 10 oclock on Sunday morning). The train I get to leamington is a **** nightmare. Friday afternoon and it's the train that ends up in Bournemouth. Obscenely overcrowded. If I had to ride it to Bournemouth I think I'd walk instead. LIke you say, when they work they're great. But it's such a hassle and so often uncomfortable that I'll only take them if driving isn't an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I like trains. There is a new station being built near me, exciting. If I have a seat booked and there is someone sitting in it, I tell them to move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
