Slightly off topic here but hey. Yesterday morning the Up "Hind" (0507 Penzance - London Paddington) encountered a shopping trolley/ goggle box set which had been placed on the line at Dolcoath and promptly knocked the air cocks out. That train stood for two hours. Crawled into Cogloads station at around 07:45 (booked to depart at 05:42!). Train terminated. Queue of trains behind to Penzance. Sent train back to Pigsarse (Long Rock). Then the points failed in reverse at the west end. The 06:01 arrival crawled in at around 08:40. The first train East was eventually sent on its way at 09:10. <br /> <br />As you may imagine, there was a hefty queue especially on an AB railway with rather long signal sections. Managed to eventually sit down at 11:30 ish and rant at the world. <br /> <br />Today, sun shining, workwent smoothly and have just been for a 4 mile walk along Penhale beach with the sun setting and a smooth late evening tide with enough to tempt the late evening surfers. Turn 180 and the moon was low in the early evening sky, bright as a button. All what was missing was female company. Moral of the story - your work does not have to follow you home and I am very lucky to live where I do. <br /> <br />Just thought I would share that.
