Clapham Junction advice

[lizzylemon]

How did your trip work out?

Bladdy awful TBH - going there took over 9 hours. I caught the coach from Cambridge, it was late so missed the original train.

Never mind says the train man 'just get on the direct southampton train'

Excellent me thinks - check on line, it only takes 1.25 hours. NOT

2.5 hours later I'm still on the bladdy train, it might have missed CJ out but it stopped at other train station along the way!

ARGH!

Luckily I have a such a good natured daughter who took it all in her stride, it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Ah...home of the dogs! Silly me, thinking Clapham Junction was at a place called Clapham!

I know the feeling when you're still sat on the train and meant to be somewhere else.

Glad you got there in the end

gah! I hate those stop-everywhere trains - Except of course when I'm actually going to one of the stop-everywhere stops and I'm annoyed that they're all non-stoppers !
