Standing

£73 is what a peak ticket from Chippenham to London costs these days. That's roughly
£60 per hour. It's not even really peak - unless you work in Paddington station this one is going to get you to your desk not much before 10am.

So is it really too much to ask that included in one's £73 fare is a seat?

In other news, Digital Doris, the nice lady who tells you how late your train is going to be, has been replaced by High-Def Harriet who has a better bing bong but whose alliteration leaves much to be desired.

Note to self: arrange meetings further in advance to take advantage of cheap first class tickets.
