I tried using public transport before. Flat pack furniture on a TrentBarton bus with a change at Canning Circus doesn't really work🤣

For the Christmas Challenge 2028 onwards; it looks like you will have to spread your wings to mainland Europe metro systems.

I have the jingle as a message notification on my phone. It does get recognised and even asked for😂. The full length version is really quite catchy as well youtu.be/VKJCELWVrCo?...

Slightly jealous of your trip; all I got on my last Enterprise+ trip was an orange juice and my reserved seat was on coach B; which wasn't part of the consist that day😥. I've never yet had an Enterprise trip that hasn't had an issue somewhere.

Win win all round. Although, I can't complain at Lincoln-Dublin for around £50 when the fare to Holyhead alone can be more than double that.

I have to agree that the Stena is a very civilised ferry route. When I was over in Ireland in November; it was the better of the Holyhead-Dublin/Belfast-Cairnryan ferries that I used on my RailSail tickets.

The only drawback now is with the increased frequency; train sets are often swapped out for non-enterprise units with no first and limited/no catering. All I got last time was no reserved seat (coach missing from set) and a cup of orange juice. Not worth the upgrade on that occasion.

It does remind me of a failed O-Level cookery practical where I had a slight problem with a curry and simmering on full gas 🌋

I haven't done the maths: but Exeter St David's to Exeter Central at £10 for 1st class, .6 mile, 328 chains has got to be a contender for poor value for money

Don't even start me on Christmas. I had an email from a Casino chain the other evening inviting me to book now for Christmas 2025 at 2024 prices. I can't even plan for next week at the moment, let alone Christmas.
