I would bet a gonad it doesn't get above 30mph.

Half an hour to do 10 miles. Hopeless heap of shite.

Then, upon arrival, 20 mins to buy a ticket - no ticket machine at Bicester, and no conductor to buy one on train

Don't need conductor on the train, ticket booth at London you can buy your ticket there, before exiting the barriers.

You so rarely talk about your likes and dislikes, TB.. tell us more about yourself - for instance, how do you feel about Formula 1? ;)

Even more frustrating, despite the hype, the 'event' I went for was a non-event.  So we went to some museums instead.

Give it time.  TB said Guffer's ban would be for 3 days.  Worryingly Guffer says the message he got was that it was permanent....... ???
