And that's not a good thing either.

First complaint came when I got to the station to see how many tossers had parked their motorbikes & scooters without considering others. At least 3 people had parked thir bikes in such a position that there was one bike parked when 2 would have easily fit had the owners has the common sense to park more coniderately.

Second complaint came when queing for me paper. The newstand at P'boro station is always congested on a morning and there are always people squeezing through. But this morning, it seemed there were more people willing to push and barge their way through instead of saying 'excuse me'. It got so bad the last bloke to push me went arse over because my foot found a life of it's own and tripped him up. He gave me the meanies as he picked himself up but he didn't have the guts (or perhaps will) to make a scene and left with a huff.

Next came the usual lack of seat reservations on a very busy Monday morning service. What is it with that fricking printer that makes it fail every Sunday night? Why have NXEC and GNER before them, failed to invest in a new one? I mean, It's not as if they are expensive or anything and a new one would solve THE MOST COMMON gripe from us commuters overnight.

Finally I got pissed off by the shocking state of the toilet. It was so bad I preffered to wait until I got to the office and refused to go in there. I can't beleive that this toilet had been cleaned over the weekend. I know us passenegers can be real pigs but there is no way in hell that the number of people on that train before it reached P'boro could have caused such a stink and wholesale devestation.
