Trains

There are three basic things I expect travelling by train in the UK:

1) There will be no rubbish bins at the train station as they were all removed years ago because of bomb scares.
2) You will have to pay to visit the train station toilets (and you won't have a 20p with you when you really need it).
3) I will not get a seat on the train as it will be too full.

I am glad to say that at least ONE basic tenet still holds.

Monday I saw clear plastic bin liners mounted at the station for rubbish.
This morning I got a seat on my morning train as it was scarily almost empty.

BUT

Last night at Paddington coming back from London I still had to scrounge round to scrape together a 20p piece...
