Wrong kind of slow on the track...
Jan. 31st, 2003 11:15 pmPopped into London to see
duranorak briefly today. Well, I saw her briefly. The 'popping into London' bit was rather more drawn out, relying as it did on public transport.
I spent at least 7 hours today either standing around in train stations, or (when I got really lucky) riding on very slow moving trains. I've never quite understood what it is about a few inches of snow that manages to totally decimate a transport system based on vehicles that weigh hundreds of tonnes.
Anyway, finally made it back to Cambridge a couple of hours ago and decided that I'd had enough of travelling for one day. I'll do the drive home in daylight tomorrow, so I can see where the less grippy bits of B-road are...
