They've changed my bus timetable without telling me. The bus home now leaves 20 minutes later, so I don't have to go so promptly at 5pm but I now don't get home till 7:15pm. Boo. The bus to work still leaves at 7:20am. Double boo. Boo Boo.

They have replaced the rattly bus with the comfy bus, one of these long-distance stagecoaches, which is nice when it's light but not so good in the evening as they dim the lights and it is very hard to read. The comfy bus has old ticketing machines though, with the old tariff, so some of my bus fares have gone down a bit!

Just thought everyone in the universe ought to know about my commute.

From what Judith said, I thought you travelled by train...

I sometimes do, but I prefer the bus. The bus takes me door to door, the bus is 80% the cost, the bus is punctual, the bus is warm and comfy (more so than the train platform) the bus gives me a quiet hour+ to read, or sleep, or work.

The last bus leaves fairly early, 17:40, so I take the train if I am late from work or if I have had to get in early. I don't take the train as a matter of course, as I have to get a bus to the station and the bus is the same one that would get me to Peterborough for 9am!

As William Gaddis said, suburban life is birth, commutation, and death.
