Caught a bit of his story on Monday...mainly he was complaining about the time taken (over 5 hours) to get from Newquay to Paddington last Saturday. His colleagues/friends had flown to Leeds and Newcastle and were home and he was still on the train. At least he was in first class as he mentioned the 'biscuits' a couple of times.

Also, sidekick 'Comedy' Dave caught the sleeper back (I presume on Friday night) and he was very complimentary about the journey, even praising the fact that he was not turfed off the train as soon as it arrived at Paddington.

Some negative/positive feedback overall.

I'm surprised he didn't fly down with BA» (British Airways - about) or Air Southwest from Gatwick.
