Colchester to London
The 08:37 ’slow train’ pulls up and leaves on time. It’s half empty, probably because of the last 2 days of strikes. Beautiful day today as we fly through the Essex countryside. Woman puts on her makeup with a Metro on her knee.
Catch up on with email and Twitter. Zone out until I notice the sunny countryside views outside. Post a pic on Twitter. Hardly notice that we’ve stopped at Chelmsford. The train fills up now and the makeup woman gets off. Still plenty of seats. I must admit I prefer to stand. I used to hate it and once considered bringing a fold up stool with me on my commute. I never did though.
