Oh, half term ain't here yet? Must be a s**t load of truants around the country yesterday and today then, the amount I saw around. Filling up all of the trains, the HST on Friday was packed full in SC, the Voyager up yesterday was full and had us standing in 60703 of 220003 (on a Plymouth/Penzance to Glasgow Central via the WCML service, DREADFUL fleet utilisation!) from 1251 (booked time of departure from Taunton) to 1327 (when we eventually landed in BTM), 36 minutes! All of SC saw people standing up on that Voyager, which is insanely annoying!
Plans for half-term here now will involve completely nothing interesting, except perhaps finding out times of freight in Hereford so I know when to go for it, rather than the hit and miss way I do it now, although scoring 66552 on Monday was an excellent way to end the trip, nice and unexpected bonus! Hoping the new job offer I got turns out positively for me, otherwise I daresay I'll simply be on the forums and looking for new jobs still. It's three months on Saturday since I last worked, 2 if you count the ballast shovelling at Coventry!
