TVR6 0 Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 It's proper bollox, my journey involves a bus to the station then the tube to london, should take 50 mins door to door, never anything less than 1.5 hours. Getting home? Forget it! They terminate the train anywhere between 1 to 3 times during the journey which means you have to change and wait with 1000 others on the platform, there's never any seating, no aircon, smelly people and the bus takes forever at the other end. It takes approx 2 to 2.5 hours to get back home. The journey is 18 miles by car (London to Heathrow) and takes 45 minutes. It's cheaper by VR too, fuel costs me Link to post Share on other sites

gloster 0 Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Gutted.Just paid 95.9p a litre for standard unleaded. Optimax was 101.9p a litre which doesn't sound too bad compared to some of you guys.I know alot of this has been caused by the hurricane taking out most of the refineries linked to the gulf of mexico but didn't Pres Bush release billions of barrells of oil from the US reserves to ease the burden this was causing?Lots of greedy people out there taking us for all they can get in my humble opinion. ~ ~Talk of fuel protests starting on the 18th September at 6.00am, online at the moment. I know its not the ideal answer but someones gotta do something to sort this whole situation out??? Link to post Share on other sites
