Well, what a time I am having with the trains at the moment. Good god. I think my train to work has been significantly late, or cancelled, every day this week. Yesterday, they had us on a replacement bus service. Which couldn't even get to the train station, because up a lane people like to park bumper-to-bumper on, on both sides of the road. It's to the point I don't even feel like I have to apologise anymore. If I'm late it's because of trains. Trains bad. It's been almost as bad, and more disheartening, in the evenings when I'm just trying to get home. And then tonight I went out for a meal, tried to get a twenty past nine train home (for literally a five minute rail journey), and it was delayed by 35 minutes. I was close to ordering a taxi, but my phone was dead so I'd have to ask to use some restaurant or bar's phone, and I literally just yesterday paid £120 to renew my travel pass for the month. Which doesn't feel like it's worth it at this point. Jesus Christ. Is the North no longer capable of railways? Is Britain no longer capable of railways? Are Northern Rail's carriages just failing en masse, and they're too embarassed to tell us, so they're just spreading the three carriages they have left out as far as they can? For fuck's sake. This is ridiculous.

However, Virgil's Black Cherry Cream Soda is wonderful, and worth a trip to Pizza Hut by itself.
