Basingstoke terminus

Posted on by January 18, 2015

Twitter for SWtrains says its due to planned works in Wimbledon. Which we don’t even stop at.  
So I got on the local. It’s more spacious but a bit more like a bus than a train.  I wonder why it can route around Wimbledon but the Salisbury train couldn’t.

Reminded me that I was planning on doing this regular like. Getting off the train in Basingstoke and moving over to another spacious train for the second half of the trip.

Only Tuesday?

Went to sleep right away last night. Tried to fight it till 10 but couldn’t manage it.

So I’m up and out early today. At the train station by 6:10.
Machine ate my card and the dude had to crank it out by hand. I think it was still sleepy.
A train was already standing here but I noticed lights were only on in the front 3 coaches. I took a closer look and saw that it was the train to Exeter st. Davids.

Glad I didn’t get on board and close my eyes!

Gah! Too hot in here, moving to the lounge.
