Drove to work today as I had access to a car.

Sunday 1st March

No Travel

General Notes:

The typical unclean trains are ever present. Out of eight journey's, I was only late to my destination twice, totaling a delay of four minutes. I decided to drive to work on Saturday as I had access to my car and paying for car parking was preferable to using the rail replacement arrangements currently on at weekends. I saw the 'refurbished' Mark III carriage on Friday, people inside didn't look too bothered, and I also saw a Class 315 at Shenfield that had been repainted in TfL colours.
