Had to go to Illford today from Liverpool Lime St and got a glimps of the other side of the commuting coin. Made me realsie just how good the GNER trains are in comparison to a lot of other opperators.
I caught the 10.42am One service from LL. As we got on, another service pulled in on the opposite platform though god knows where from. I'm telling you this thing was rammed like a cattle truck. And at 10.30 in the morning too.
Not only that the One trains are not what I would call a shining example of cleanliness. I watched and imagined how 60 years ago, the Nazis forcably rammed people against their will into cattle trucks. Here these people were willingly doing much the same. God only knows what it's like at 8.30.
Used my first upgfrade of the year and Sat in first class wih an old freind tonight. What a differance.
Free tea coffee, juice, nespaper and buscuit, reclinging seat, curtains. Needless to say I ruined the whole atmosphere with 2 cans of stella and the odd swear word.
