Three times a week I experience the joys of an hour long early morning commute into London. Two of these trains leave at about 7.45 - so bearable (just about). The other leaves at 6.48 - so hideous. Now, if I have to be up, dressed, out of the house and on a train at that time of day I want to be able to lean back in my seat, shut my eyes and pretend that I'm still in my bed. What I don't want is to be disturbed by cries of "all tickets and passes, please!" and then to have to ferret around in my bag so I can wave said ticket in front of the inspector. I wouldn't mind so much if the ticket inspectors were as vigilant on all the trains (but they frequently do not bother to battle their way through the crowded peak rush hour trains) or if the train's destination (Waterloo) did not have automatic ticket barriers (it does) or if the train stopped enroute at stations that don't have automatic ticket barriers (it doesn't stop anywhere else) but, as it is, grrrrrr! I have toyed with the idea of doing what some other sleeping commuters do and leaving my season ticket open on the table in front of me but the thought of it getting lost or stolen would ruin all attempts at sleep. What to do except vent????
