What about the plane?

Yes - we are now joining the Greenpeace campaign Air Plot

You thought the Tube was bad!

I know the Waterloo Line gets manic - but what about this?

Crowded underground trains are mad I know, but at least they are usually short journeys.

:-)

I saw you today!

Ever fancied anyone on the tube!

What beautiful hazel eyes...and fishnets!

We spent a bit of time sitting opposite each other, until you got off at (I think) Westbourne Park. I was the guy in the black jacket and jeans.

When we eventually made eye contact and you smiled, I got butterflies in my stomach! Wish I'd had the confidence to start a conversation with you...!

Making money while on the train

Hot tip number one: take your web-book onto the train.
You can pre-book a seat that has a plug to power your computer on the train. If your traveling to a meeting, email them while your en-route and send them presentation documents to 'get their taste buds going' before they see you. Feed them the right info at the right time and it could be just a formality once you get there.

Book online with www.thetrainline.com or www.raileasy.co.uk for example and the earlier you book the more you'll save!

Welcome to Train Journeys

Common, you have thought it haven't you - where are these guys going, what are they up to, and are they really listening to a thud, thud, thud on their ipod, or is it really good intellectual music.

I for one, never quite understand the multitudes and varieties of people, and when they are all in a confined space on the train - are you brave enough to strike up a conversation?

I spoke to this guy called Simon today while on the Penzance to Paddington line - interesting looking chap - long grey hair, glasses and a 30 year old suit - he said he was off to hear what his estranged father had left him in his will, claiming that he expects to become a millionaire three times over by the time he returns back that evening. And yet he travelled in standard class. I just wish I'd been on the same return train!!!

While on the tube, heading towards Baker Street, I was surrounded by expensive suits and polished shoes, yet nobody would even give me eyecontact. Is it me or are the ones already in the money less talkative?

Anyway, I aim to share my somewhat varied train life to you my fellow traveller, and if I should sit next to you on a rainy journey to somewhere drab - talk to me and tell me Im not insane!
