Congratulations.

Please don't think that the whole of the South of England smells like the inside of a voyager.

And please try to be compassionate to the disgruntled punters when you have to skip-stop Basingstoke (or other stops) when you're running late!! It's happened to me twice....

I promise not to laugh until I've cleared the platform! In my limited experience of the route so far everything's run pretty much to time, there seems to be a fair buffer of time at Birmingham and a sharp reversal at reading can cure most ills. I still love the look of panic on peoples faces departing Reading, all thinking that the train is taking them back whence they came!
