They aught to be apologising for the delays from Penzance for no apparent reason that caused me to miss my connections and booked seats on Tuesday.

It was one of those manky, noisy old diesel units that couldn't pull the skin of a rice pudding and accelerate with all the pace of an arthritic snail on Mogodon. I looked its type up and it's called a "Sprinter" and supposidly capable of 90MPH. Somebody's having a laugh and it wasn't me.

Boy was I glad the last leg was on Southern region and their nice quiet, spacious trains.
