The increased security spread at least as far as Cardiff yesterday. Kim & Jack got caught up in cancelled & delayed trains yesterday afternoon, trying to get home from the city centre. They were only delayed by about an hour. This morning everything appears to be running fine (although at least one of the high speed London-Swansea services is seriously delayed by a “technical problem”).
None of this is any great problem though. After I saw what was happening to most services last night I decided to have a lie in this morning and check the Cardiff Central departure boards on my laptop at 7.45. By the looks of it most of London is doing likewise.
As I write this the train I’m on has been rerouted off the main line (there’s a broken down train stuck on it) and onto the Vale of Glamorgan line, so I’m off on a magical mystery tour of South Wales. I should get to work by about lunchtime.
