    Tomorrow I'll do Farnborough Main to Waterloo, Northern Line to Euston, details of my walk down Euston Road to Kings Cross, a lesson on how to cheat the train arrival board and get on first (doesn't matter in First Class but still), then a station-by-station account of every stop culminating in arrival at Leeds, how to negotiate the troublesome ticket barriers at Leeds, an expose of me getting my prescription from Boots on the station concourse on the way home, and a useful guide I'm formatting called 'Leeds Taxi drivers, how to engage in banter with them without being patronising'.

    It's gripping stuff...

    Bit of a hold up at Camberley, driver reported third rail collector shoe worn beyond limits but we carried on on the other three.

    In a jiffy we were at Frimley, with only Ash Vale between us and Nirvana aka not Aldershot.

    Arrived at not Nirvana on time, now I'm off to Morrison's for tonight's tea and then back to my sordid little grief hole to masturbate like a baboon.

    Was the time table right?

    Did the train arrive?

    Did he get on it?

    We need to know!

    Not sure if this link will work:

    National Rail Enquiries

    Otherwise it's the train due in at 15:54:

    Aldertulipe has always been Aldertulip, but Bagshot is commonly known as Shagbot.

    Jump on it, change at Guildford for Waterloo. One stop on the Waterloo and City line for London drinkies!
