All change

slycatThe subject of course is a play on words relating to both the fact that the train timetables changed today and what they say when a train reaches it's final destination. Anyway, the train timetable changes were set to totally screw with my daily routeine, meaning that I would have over an hour added on to my time out of the house. In retaliation, I've got an alternative. It's one I wouldn't have thought of but it's such a great idea. Basically, my next door neighbour works in the same town that I do and drives there every day. Now, as real life is not a soap and no-one talks to their neighbours, I had only recently learned this from my Mum.
Couldn't have come at more a perfect time really as I am now able to have 20mins more to myself in the morning and get into work early (rather than dead on or late) every day. Only problem with this is that my neighbour finishes work at 3.30pm meaning I have to find my own way home. However, rather than wait until 6.36pm for the train home (getting me home around 7.10pm including the walk), I can get home at about 6.30pm with no walk by getting the bus. Getting the bus means that I don't need to leave work until 6pm but that's not a huge problem as I'm still getting home more or less the same time I would had I got the train before the times changed.
I will of course have to get the train when my neighbour is off work but on the whole, this has been quite a good thing rather than the problems I would have expected from the changes. My only real worry now is that as the bus I get is the last service, there is the chance it doesn't run for whatever reason. And unlike the trains, you've no prior notice that the service has been cancelled. Ah well, I guess I just hope this doesn't happen...
