I could be sat in the cinema watching Collateral right now, but no, the train decides to be a c**k munch.
I walk all the way to the train station which is a good 30 minute walk. I arrive there 10 minutes before the train is due and I'm still sat there 40 minutes later. By this time, even if the train did show, I wouldn't be in time for the film anyway. I rang my mate and told him I couldn't make it and walked the half hour uphill walk home.
An hour and a half wasted and another extremely boring day to look forward to.

Just buy a ticket onboard?
Yeah, there sometiems isn't a ticket collecter - when you've bought the ticket at the station before boarding.
Sods law.

Yeah, Scotrail is pretty reliable, but it costs a bomb.
I get a train every day from my station at h:27 and h:57
During rush hour in the morning, there's also a train at 8:10 and 8:41
They keep to those times too, I'd assume there is a train service at 5:10 and 5:41 and 6:10 too, but I never travel out of my station during rush hour.
And, the best thing is, it's an end of the line train service, so if you're running late, you can see if it's in the station yet, and stuff.
Anyway, Scotrail rock, apart from their prices.
I forgot what I was going to say.
The only grivance I have is that they're almost ALWAYS late in the winter, but only when it's cold and windy, so you need to wait, in the cold and then, when you get on the train, their heating doesn't work, so you're freezing.
Also, the trains are only ever cancelled on teh way home in the afternoon, never in the mroning, when you could jsut make your way back home and go "ah well"

I get it to and from work everyday, the one network is pretty reliable to work, from work its normally late.
British Rail is one of the most unreliable services possible, argument over. If I ever need to use public transport, I'll go on a bus. It's cheap and not as unreliable as a train- although the constant stopping is very annoying.
My train is quite simple.
2 every hour, straight line into Glasgow. Only problem is when they put 2 carriages on the 8am train, the busiest train of the day. Then when I come home in the after they have 4.

Zombie Lassie's mutant adventure?
I saw a film once. The people had very strange limbs and the dog went up to the attic when a train went past.
