bad morning for transport. looks like being a very bad fortnight. my train line has been reduced to hardly any trains and the ones that are running are stopping at every station. yeah. packed hot slow trains. great.

it's all explained in a nice press releasefrom thames trains.

it's a pain for commuters and anyone trying to get to the Reading festival this bank holiday weekend.

Someone else who was having a bad monday morning - a car randomly crashed in to a parked car. two police men but no driver at the scene.

i suspect it was driven by a badger. badgers are notorious bad drivers, partly as they can't see out the window and press the pedals at the same time. this is why they usually drive automatics.

this was a manual car. they were asking for trouble.
