General Notes:

Three separate disruptions on the trains this week. Twice I was able to get an earlier running train and get to my destination earlier than normal. Once I got an earlier, but late running train, so ended up being 8 minutes later than I should have done. Trains were all in a disgusting condition and needed cleaning and litter picking.
