It's been a long day. I've been to a big rail exhibition (as an exhibitor) at the NEC and have spent hours on end stood around wearing a suit and a winning smile...

I traveled to the exhibition by train and was late, quite ironic that.
The train I was traveling on was delayed due to what I can only assume was a dodgy decision by the signaller in charge of this particular patch. I changed at leamington Spa and caught the Virgin service which eventually ends up in Scotland, the train was 2 mins late arriving at Leamington and was set off behind an EWS freight train that was 325 mins late! Leaminton to Coventry is a single line for part of the streach and that means the passenger train that was almost on time has to wait f*cking ages for the freight train infront to clear and then another coming in the other direction to pass. If they had given the passenger train priority out of Leamington (and they could have because there is a goods line there) it would have resulted in the passenger train being on time and the freight one being a little bit later than the 4.5 hours than it was already!

Update: I'm not a Trainspotter, I don't even like trains
