Saturday 31st January

First day of 8 weekends of engineering works along GEML. Had access to a car, so I decided to drive to work, rather than get a train to Billericay and a bus from there to Chelmsford.

Sunday 1st February

No Travel

General Notes:

4 out of 8 journeys delayed this week, that's a 50% lateness record. Total of 21 minutes lateness. Obviously no change in the cleanliness of the trains, no big shocker there really. I pay over £110 a month for travel between Shenfield and Chelmsford and I get to travel in filthy conditions, thanks Greater Anglia, you bunch of mingers.
