Reply to: DOOM: Don't use the trains at Christmas

I think that's cheaper than driving my car

And a lot cheaper compared to driving ones car into a wall...

Just checked, anytime single 2nd Class from my home city to London works out £1.10 per mile.

Hopefully that means you'll be staying at home then...

You could get arrested for that. Better to be simply eccentric and talk about lizards, 5G and Bill Gates.

Twitching and shouting at an invisible person "you're triggering me" is my go to. A German stare helps as well.

The police should be able to give definitive advice on whether it's "busy", so you could shout it at them when they arrive.

Perhaps throw in a cough or two.

Least you will get a few seats to yourself....

So, what, you get on a carriage and scream "is this a busy train?" as loudly as possible?

you have to be very rich to use the trains.
many fares turn out to be £1/mile. better take a shared taxi.

Won't use them at Xmas as the University return window is the 3rd to the 9th, one whole weekend FFS.

In the middle of deadly pandemic?

Better not travel - that’s the Official advice

Well, poo, I don't have a car at the moment as when my lease ended I didn't see the point.

Considering most years the rail service grinds to a halt at Christmas for essential maintenance, what exactly will be running that is expected to be 'too busy'?
