Didcot to Bristol

Posted on by insightndes

This was the shortest leg of my journey.

Bristol Tempelmeads

The cycle to the hotel of about a mile took an age due to traffic lights and traffic. Cars really hold cyclists up but not as much as they hold each other up.

Resisted the urge to cycle down the corridor.

How could someone design such an ugly ship?

Heading to Bristol

I had a seat booked in this train, which someone sat in- no point moving them as the seat next to it was free.

I caught the Penzance train here. A few issues. Firstly the train rolled past platform 5 to platform 6, leaving everyone rushing over to get on board. And it wax crowded.

Bridgwater is not particularly bonny, but I did find a picture to make it look good.
