It's been a long time since I've travelled on a train for work, but it's taken just a few minutes to get really annoyed at someone's phone pinging loudly and it's the quiet coach. You don't need loud notifications if you're holding your phone you numpty!

Coming via Euston was a bad idea. Trains cancelled or delayed :(

Euston has always been my least favourite station. At least I'm now on a train even if it is heaving. The 18:16 is about to depart.

Five and a half hours of travelling. What fun.

Thankfully my journey home has, so far, been a lot faster. From Euston platform to the front of the Waterloo train in 20 minutes.

After years of austerity, the disaster of Brexit, trashing the economy, the corruption of giving billions to their mates for useless PPE and honours for their cronies, increasing national debt, etc, how can anyone even think about voting Tory? theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
