The joys of CrossCountry rail: I've spent my whole lunch break staring at XC seating plans, RealTimeTrains data, and Trainsplit's seat booking... and I still have no idea whether I'm going to have a table seat or power socket for the trip to EMFcamp later this month.
Somehow Arriva manage to run the best buses around here, and the worst trains.
Sounds like packing the Charles Stross novel @orman surprised me with might not be such a bad idea, if there's a chance of a Ryanair-class trip #ukrail
