Good on the Wellington College boys who gave up their seats this morning at the polite request of the train driver. The train was packed due to the decreased capacity (😠) and for some strange reasons more people are catching the train these days ( ). The driver was very droll and witty, apologised for the cramped conditions, but said our days could only get better from here on in. (😂 )
Concerningly none of us were masked, something I will personally need to change. Lovely autumn day today, but Metlink, witty drivers aside, can go get in the bin. (  )

Nach dem elend lauten und dreckigen Rüttelbecher TER sitze ich nun im TGV, Strasbourg–Paris. Der ganze Wagen ist voller Deutsche. Einer der Gruppe fragt den Kondi erst freundlich, ob er Deutsch spreche und dann, ob der RER-Transfer im Billet inbegriffen sei. Die Gruppe reist nach Barcelona. 🤯🤩🚂 So geht das! #TrainLife #CrossBorderRail

Sitting in the train to Den Haag, the info screen is stuck on the grub startup menu

Today is a WFH day! And given the current conniptions with trains in the capital - sudden failures/cancellations/general chaos like yesterday evening, reduced carriage capacity at times, and half the number of working Snapper terminals at Wellington Station, this feels like a real win.

Standing room only on the train this morning. According to the Train Manager, there are fewer carriages available because one of their maintenance partners "has gone out business".

It was so cold on the platform while I was waiting for the train that I now have to push my super-old i7 to the max — that way I can warm my hands while typing on the laptop at the same time. 😄

On my way to the big city, traveling by train.
Drinking coffee, having a sandwich.

As usual, it’s time for some enterprise architecture things — compliance, information governance, AI, and whatnot.

Already longing for the evening and hitting the hay. Reading Helsreach (a warhammer book). Liking it so far.
