Getting to like the train

[psychocandy]

As much as I'd love to commute here on the train it's just too much trouble, plus the prices they ask are ludicrous

Assume your talking about the wales-paddington?

Yeh. Know what you mean. £200 for peak time return. Nuts. Especially when 7 day season is £330 or something.

0530 train is a bit cheaper. Did look into this and sometimes its way worth getting this train - even first class at this time is cheaper. So worth getting out of bed at the crack and at least having comfy seat for a kip.

Getting back its better to not buy a return but buy a single and use ticket splitting. About £50 single then.

Nightmare mun. Beamer eh? Nicked or owned? lol

Nah this one is owned lol makes a massive difference to the drive though I don't know why I waited so long to change cars

What I prefer about a train commute is the ability to have a nap on the way into work.
Downsides are other people, whether you can get a seat, and the big one for me: lack of flexibility. I generally have 2 - 3 trains on any given commute, and getting decent connections can be awful, especially if there is even a minor delay. A 5 minute delay setting off can snowball into up to 1 hour extra.
Luckily at the moment my commute is a 15 minute drive

Yep and then I've got to get to West London from there, Whereas it only costs £20 in fuel one way
