I decided to take the train again today, rather than driving. Partly motivated by the difference in price, and partly because when I'm on the train I can get some work done on the laptop (I have real problems balancing the laptop on the steering wheel when I'm driving).
So I'm sat on the 10.03 from Norwich, which was 20 minutes late in departing. This means I miss my connection in Peterborough, so my overall journey time will be around three hours instead of two. Suddenly the car seems like a much better option.
The other day I was talking about cars with David and saying how I think they are nothing but a decadent luxury, environmentally unfriendly, antisocial and just all round bad things. But when you can't travel reliably by other means, I guess there's no choice.
I think I need to add a new category to my blog: "Public transport moans and gripes".
Posted by savs at January 24, 2004 2:15 PMThe Central Citylink trains seem unreliable about times IME. It may even be better to use FEC's excel coach to p/boro, or use anglia and change at Ely if you can. Not sure why Central has trouble. Local NXtrains company wagn is mostly fine, if a bit complex. It's rare I drive to Cambridge now.
