First Class Worst Class

[pigamus]

Used to be able to pay an extra fiver or something measly to upgrade to first class on that train. Never paid for it and nowadays it's priced based on how far your journey is so £20-25 extra from Bath/Bristol. No point. Got in for free when it was overcrowded and first class on those new Hitachis is dead comfy..

I think I clutched my ticket in my hand all the way there because I was afraid they'd find out I wasn't proper. I think I only had a coffee - I was too nervous to ask what else I could have for the same reason.

Used to use weekend first a lot when I was a student and doing Scotland to the South West. Even once set up a Desktop Computer and monitor on the journey. Nearly as silly as the size of Gordon Gecko's phone in the first Wall Street.

Did Green Car throughout Japan, because why not.

And did a luxury version of the Trans Sib, with booze in the bar included, and four course dinners every evening. Even had suckling pig one night. Train travel with never beat that.

Do they still do the luxury trans siberian?

That sounds based af

I would love a suckling pig nowhere suckling my damn dick

As it is I'm eating in a posh Thai on my own. Its depressing. Wish I could go home to my wife and cats man. Not all it's cut out to be this FC life.


I'll get some tinnies and twenny biftas from the Sainsbury's local in a minute though and have a party in the bath.

Im eating alone at the raj indian in the Bigg market, savouring a couple more hours of freedom before she returns

Is it unethical to get prozzies if your just homesick?

No shagging, only HJ/BJ.

Honestly don't know where to even rent one. Is there an app?

Don't have any in Droitwich

If you're in Shanghai, however...

[The Boston Crab]

I'm in fucking Birmingham mate.


I text my wife to check and she said absolutely no chance so that's fine that.

[Ian Drunken Smurf]

Do they still do the luxury trans siberian?

Yes - the Golden Eagle. Did it as part of honeymoon and RTW on gardening leave. Was about half the age of most of the other passengers. One heck of a way to travel across Russia (and visit Mongolia).

Droitwich is near brum?

[The Boston Crab]

No offence but I don't know nothin about this rat city.

[weekender]

Anyone want to have a go at connecting Birmingham International to transport locations?

[BlodwynPig]

22 miles south of birmingham. Close enough.

Adultwork. Don't forget to check the reviews on punternet

_{and then start feeling quite depressed and change your mind}

[pigamus]

Droitwich is near brum?

"Darley Dale, Measham, Droitwich and Grantham". Hammered into my brain from DFS adverts when growing up in 1980s Birmingham.

[BlodwynPig]

Best people are from birmingham

[Mrs Wogans lemon drizzle]

Anyone travelling first class should be either told to fuck off or put on a carriage which is like a giant maggot infested tomb filled with shit, but in a negative way.

Srsly tho we shouldn't have different class of travel, carriages should be divided into those travelling short distance and those travelling longer distance.

Sounds like a new Momentum policy.

Thought that sounded good and might be a more economical way to do posh train tavel.

Best part of £20k, west to east.

Crowdfund it like the rich kids do

[Cuellar]

OK Boom... actually yeah might try that

[The Boston Crab]

In my rat city room, got the Switch hooked up and playing Steins;Gate, a visual novel about time travel, bought some tinnies, had half a one and down the sink. Gave a homo (homeless guy) a fiver and the remaining tinnies. Would have invited him in because my stupid room got two double beds for some reason but I'd worry he'd steal my Switch and wallet and who could blame him? I got a nearly full Costa loyalty card in the wallet and a shit load of shmups on the Switch. I genuinely feel bad thinking this guy is outside and I got two beds. Feel terrible to be honest, I mean it. I won't be able to sleep thinking about this guy from the other side of the tracks. Why hasn't he got the RNG to go on a stupid train in FC and sleep in a room with two beds? I haven't felt this guilty since I was talkin to an El Salvadorian on the Honduran border and I paid ten bucks to go through but he wasn't allowed because he was not a white westerner and he didn't have one buck never mind ten.

Maybe I will vote Labour after all.

Why are you throwing beer down the sink you dick

[BlodwynPig]

Wank and laqer down sink

Should have gone droitwich

[The Boston Crab]

Why are you throwing beer down the sink you dick

There isn't even a fridge in this fucking executive room. Truly a shit day for luxury supposed shit. By the time I get back from din dins the beer was room temp. I can't tolerate that. I'd rather end the night and look forward to some nice cool drinking tomorrow.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

You got a tramp drunk though, so all is well with the world.

Dead by morn in this temperature

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

The beers warm, so it should keep him alive.

[Captain Z]

There's a great little gaming pub just up the road if you want to take your mind off it.

[Ferris]

I travel so infrequently on British trains that I always go first class. It's like an extra 20 quid, and you can see angry old men in pastel trousers yelling at their demure wives and you can't put a price on that.

Peak railway was late 1990s-early 2000s when you could go on Craigslist and arrange train wanks.
