No more snow
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009
The snow has all gone now, washed away by last nights rain.
It still seems that even this form of precipitation can cause havoc with the trains.
Despite making my train at 08:02, I didn’t leave Thatcham until the 08:43 came along.
There appears to have been a flood somewhere along the line which meant that the earlier train was cancelled – meaning that my regular train was twice as full.
Despite the fact that the vestibules were bursting at the seams, some people remained determined that they were getting on.
Personally, I decided to go and get a coffee, giving me a better view of the determined few.
Needless to say, not many people made that train journey from Thatcham.
The next train on the platform is usually a through train to Reading – this didn’t appear, leading me to believe that the next train would be similarly full.
I made it onto the next train, along with another guy that I ended up chatting to about the situation and although we had to stand, we made it to Reading.
It’s funny how easy it is to talk to the familiar strangers that you see every day when you find a common ground – more often than not, a delay with the trains haha!
