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.

Those "Sprinter's" are bloody terrible as we have to get one of them at Westbury for our connection to Fareham and they never arrive on time Heero.
