So last night i came home. A little bit of a nightmare getting on the train! I planned to leave to catch the 5:06 train, at about 4:35, takes about 15-20 mins to get there and i needed a ticket! All ready, i look at the time… 4:50, no! So i quickly ran home got my bag and ran most of the way to the station, literally!
I arrived there at 5:07, it looks like the train is on the platform, i run up to the first station guy, and said please can you let me on to the platform and buy a ticket on the train (There are barriers in Oxford) He says no! So i thought oh man i missed that, and queued up for a ticket! Finally got there and said i wanted the next train to Chesterfield because i knew i missed the 5:06 one. He proceeded to tell me, really slowly that i might be in luck and the train looks like its running 20 mins late! By this time it is 5:15, so i said great I’ll get on that one then thanks! He continued to faff around looking at stuff, by this point i am thinking ‘You idiot give me the ticket or i will still miss the train!’ finally he handed me a ticket, and i made it on the train!
Katie didn’t know i was coming home until Friday, So when i turned up and she answered the door she was quite shocked!
So its been good so far! Off to Rileys with my brother in a sec…
Home…
