I popped down to see my family at the weekend.
We drove over to Northampton and met up with both my sister Julie and her two children; Dominic and Alex. Dominic had just come back from a week away with his school, on a trip to an adventure centre.
I spent today attending a User Group meeting in central London. With the new rail service from Stockport to London this isn't too big a deal, the whole journey takes less than two hours on something they label as their "flagship service".
What I find amazing is the cost of the journey. A same day return cost over £200! Looking at the prices for other tickets on the same train I see that something called a "business return" costs £317!
