Even so I'd rather be in control of my surroundings rather than being sat on an uncomfortable seat next to some hideous 30 stone chav female with her folds of fat pressing into my side listening to her playing R&B from the tinny speaker of her Nokia with a combination of body odour and the tuna sandwich she is stuffing into her gullet wafting through the air.
Shouldn't sit in First Class then...

I occasionally sit in the declassified part on 158's if that helps Wink

Maybe we could have a new vote on here... "Who would drive if they could rather than struggling with FGW▸ (First Great Western)?".. I for one would vote yes (if parking in London wasn't so expensive..) I'd not worry about the wear and tear on my car..
You've just answered the question then, If parking in London wasn't so expensive, which is why you use the train!

Mind you, for ^2800 pound (I just paid something like that out for my season ticket), I could probably buy a parking space in London....
