I get this train almost every day, to the extent I don’t bother checking the calling points. In 10 years it’s never not stopped at Clapham Junction. And yet here I am in Surbiton. Maybe I should have another meal at Koyal while I’m here.

A “lamb chop wrapped in tinsel” according to the brand new Apple Intelligence AI. I think it needs a bit of work.
