Plod were waiting for this mornings 07.20 to arrive so they could arrest some Rasta fella for whatever he'd done. Looking at the state of the bloke he was obviously boozed up or on something and looked like he was expecting the greeting. I'd love to know what he'd done but only becasue he seemed to be quite happy about it and the fact that I can be a nosey bastard.
In other news, I heard a new automated announcment on last nights 18.30. It didn't really tell you much but I can't really remember what it said as I wasn't paying a blind bit of notice to it until I realised it was and automated message and that I'd never heard anything like it before. Odd really. Are we going to be hearing more of these?
Finally, I've started thinking about other titles for this blog in light of the limited life of GNER. I quite like East Coast Commuter or ECML commuter but it will be hard for people to find us as generally most people look for the name of the TOC when searching for info. If anybody has any sensible suggestions, please feel free to leave them on a comments page.
3 points:
1) I'm travelling Peterborough to Kings Cross tomorrow on the 07:20. Wish me luck with the usual ugly First Class bunch.
2) GNER Customer Relations is a farcical joke. You can't contact them by phone or email, and they snet me the wrong compensation after a recent 3hr+ delay.
3) What will happen to my GNERtime Privilege membership which I re-applied for recently and my current cards ends next July? Will NXEC honour GNERtime members? Even GNERtime support is a farcical joke as they don't reply to emails.
Morale of story is - Jonathan Metcalfe, brace yourself for the dole queue.
