Second day of work

Another exciting day of work. Well, maybe not, but with this heat it's good to be in an air conditioned office. On the train ticket front, it's not quite as bad as I thought after yesterday. I bought a weekly ticket today. It cost 69.60GBP, but that is for the train as well as travel in London zones 1 to 6 on tubes and buses. This means that anywhere in London I want to go on the weekend won't cost me anything extra. I had thought that on top of the 53GBP for the train, I'd have to pay 22GBP for a week of zone 1 and 2 travel on the tubes and buses, plus extra for weekend trips further out. (e.g. to visit my friends in South Wimbledon).

More on the work travel front: it took me two and a quarter hours to get home today. This is because a truck hit a bridge, which then needed to be inspected before trains could go over it again. It meant that the train I was going to catch and the one after it didn't come, so I waited about an hour for a train. I hope trucks don't run into train bridges too often. There is strike action planned on the railways on Friday, though it's not due to start until noon. This means I should be able to get to work, I just might not be able to get home!!
