fatharris Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Well, it's 0640, and I'm already at Camborne train station. There's only one other man on the platform and he's drinking double cream straight from the pot. 7 hours on the train to get to my destination.

fatharris Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Whilst I'm sat on my arse for several hours, I may as well knock out the revision I've been putting off for a fortnight. Radar transmitter theory, exciting stuff. A reminder of how much this steed has set me back.

Pillock Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 So that'll be the 0646 to Glasgow Central, where seven hours gets you as far as Wakefield. Bon voyage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timewaster Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Thought this was a local adventure. Then I remembered that our local Camborne doesn't have a railway station. Or any other redeeming features. Well done Cambridgeshire new town planning dept. Might well be 7 hours away though. God speed! M'coli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
