I think I was just dead on my feet when I climbed aboard. Woke up in Dundee feeling fine, although I was annoyed I missed sunrise!

I went on the old one to FW and I have to say, the actual sleep was fantastic. I slept like a log, really comfy and the noise didn't bother me. The ladder is really easy to remove, I just plonked it on the top bunk. There was a surfeit of towels (six!) and I was tempted to take one as a memento.

ATOL is there to reimburse people for their lost holidays, in terms of payments. It isn't going to cover repatriation as well. The cost is only going to creep upwards.

There's £100m earmarked for 'repatriation'...so far.

Is it them being nice or is it just that they'll get a hefty amount of compensation from the bailout fund...? Not to be cynical...

'He just walked off end of platform 13 and was acting wierdly, near crossover, nearly got knocked down by a Gatex' The actions of someone perfectly sane and reasonable, eh? People like you aren't worth the effort.

A 'plonker'? Someone with mental health issues who's contemplating suicide is a plonker? Christ on a bike.

It depends when exactly you want to be leaving Bangor. If you're getting into Manchester for that time, I presume it'll be a gig? The best way to do it is to separate the trips. Bangor from Junction isn't expensive, about £7.70 if memory serves. Cheapest I can see from Junction to Manchester...

Happened to me just last week. An hour and two minutes was measured as 59 minutes by the system, despite it being later. Just means they don't have to pay out as much. Anything up to an hour and five minutes is usually counted as 59 minutes.

We have...rain.

Although obviously I'm sympathetic, 'spiking' of drinks is nowhere near as common as people think; according to reports, 95% of the time it's a case of drinking too much and not being aware of what you're having. Although I'm sympathetic, of course. It's unlikely that staff would believe it as...

It's never going to make money. I was affected by the disruption a few weeks ago and just received an email, saying I'm getting half the fare refunded, plus an extra £15 for the inconvenience of not having a sleep kit or being offered breakfast.

The train I get most frequently (TFW Rhyl to Birmingham International) is usually rammed full of holidaymakers who think their little sprogs should get seats even though they haven't paid, as they're under 5. Believe me, I've been made to squeeze into smaller than that.

Bikes are a lot more bulky than the average large suitcase. They'll take up two seats of space... probably about four people could stand in that space, also. Personally, I think there should be a small fee for them; I'm aware it would discourage people from doing it and you're not meant to say...

I wasn't sure if 'barrier attendant' was the actual job title, but you got what I meant! My idea only really works for the bigger stations, obviously it wouldn't be enforceable elsewhere, but it's a start.

Really? Because I can't see any.

If your train is leaving in two minutes and there's a massive queue, there should be an option for a ticket inspector to give a form, like an IOU. A standard one that says the ticket inspector agrees there wasn't enough time to purchase a ticket, and it can be bought on board or at the end of...

Of course, I completely understand it'll be tricky to ensure everyone is in sync it was three minutes late when we physically came to a halt, I saw the clock through the window. It just seemed jolly convenient how it was apparently exactly a minute early, that's all. I shall challenge and see...

*capital, if we're going down that road...

Charming. But it's Berry.
