Hasn't been a Turbo on the 1751 for about three weeks now. Presumably inroads have been made into the snow-crippled HST power cars.

It's going to be packed - the 1421 was cancelled!

It is rather cosy - although I do believe the seat behind me is about to be vacated at Oxford so I may move seats!

It is a short day - after resetting my body clock to central time over the last few weeks (seems to be where it always wants to migrate to) the worst thing however was going to bed at 2am and realising I had to be up at 430am!  And then forgetting my ear plugs so getting no sleep on the way up.

Do the trains get checked when they turn around at WOS - if someone who looks like a vagrant is snoring in the corner, please wake them up!

But then I was on 0535 this morning

No set formally allocated to it yet - I'll check a little later if I get chance...

I'm in the office for the first time in four weeks (might not bother again until Monday - not sure why I did!) and I know there were a spate of turbos on the 1751 due to HST failures elsewhere.

Now the 1751 was the more convenient for me to pick up at Reading, and still is, but if its more than likely to be a turbo (I know we won't know until later) then I will just book the taxi for later.

Any ideas?
