Fosse Boy Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 I chucked out of first class from Euston to Nuneaton! I got asked 'So you'll be upgrading these tickets?'...Erm No...'Rightio 2 carrages down then please' atleast I got half of my journey in first class opposed to half a day on stuffy coach with no leg room. Our train was a couple of minutes late so the inspector was happy just to let us be. Good common sense prevailing on his part.
milan_foxes Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 I was stuck on Coach 3 aka the 'Dead Coach' which had three disabled people and mostly old grannys... So felt slightly gulity when we were singing our hearts our for hours on the way there
Asha Posted 10 August 2010 Posted 10 August 2010 Stuck on coach 1, got back at Walkers at quarter past midnight. Can understand people who said they had a laugh on way back but 7 hours on a coach is just not enjoyable. Don't want a repeat of that in a hurry. Train next time we go to London I think. Where abouts on Coach 1 were you? You'll definitely know what I'm talking about - everything happens on Coach 1
Ford Super Sunday Posted 10 August 2010 Posted 10 August 2010 Didn't think it would take the 'if you use Fox Travel you're an absolute disabled' brigade to wade into the thread.
C-man Posted 10 August 2010 Posted 10 August 2010 Didn't think it would take the 'if you use Fox Travel you're an absolute disabled' brigade to wade into the thread. The only thing worth yawning about is your insistence in throwing your toys out of the pram whenever someone dares question Fox Travel. I think it's pretty fair to say waiting on a coach after a defeat for 8 hours isn't high upon my list of priorities. In fact it sounds like my, and even a few users of the oh so holy Fox Travel, idea of hell. Hope you enjoyed your 'day out' though.
theboxman1986 Posted 10 August 2010 Posted 10 August 2010 I was on coach 4 as well (the fat guy at the back) and that film was just awful what made me laugh was when we got to the service station on the way back was that toilet attendant trying to kick us out sayin the toilet was closed. Even though the journey was crap takin the piss out the traffic was funny especially when those birds in the car had a laugh with us.
CosbehFox Posted 10 August 2010 Posted 10 August 2010 Oh come off it. I know and respect that you enjoy using Fox Travel but how in any way can being stuck on a coach for 8 hours make it a better day out? I went on FT for the first time since Millwall through shortened choice, I won't name numbers for respect of the other passengers but it was living hell. Wasn't helped by a combination of 16/17/18 year old's whose boredom was imprinted on everyone else. It was murder. London traffic issue, an ignorant driver, construction sites or the Police being overly cautious and letting Leicester fans leave too late? A combination of factors but I daren't moan anymore in case I develop a stress related illness.
nothin2seehere Posted 10 August 2010 Posted 10 August 2010 Our train was a couple of minutes late so the inspector was happy just to let us be. Good common sense prevailing on his part. That doesn't sound like Midland Main^^^East Midlands Trains. Even back in the worst days of train travel they wouldn't let people sit in First if the rest of the train was standing room only ( I commuted to London from Kettering for about 8 years). Sounds like they've improved somewhat.
Shrenchel Posted 10 August 2010 Posted 10 August 2010 8 hours?! At least the windows must've been spotless by the time they got back to Leicester.
Guest Mee-9 Posted 11 August 2010 Posted 11 August 2010 I was on coach 4 as well (the fat guy at the back) and that film was just awful what made me laugh was when we got to the service station on the way back was that toilet attendant trying to kick us out sayin the toilet was closed. Even though the journey was crap takin the piss out the traffic was funny especially when those birds in the car had a laugh with us. I was on coach 4 too mate. That toilet cleaner saying to that bloke, "You must have respect for me" Then that bloke saying, "I'll have respect for you when I piss all over your floors." Classic. We had the worlds slowest bus driver. He had never done a coach to the football before you know? That film Kenny made me laugh. Enjoyed my late night Burger King. Anyway walked in home at 1:15am. Them frenchies on the bus in the lane next to us on the m25. That was class.
smallpauldj Posted 11 August 2010 Posted 11 August 2010 wow i find all this staggering, at the start of the day i prob had the longest day out of everyone leaving at 7:45 to get a national express coach to victoria knowing i wouldnt get home til 9:15 but the m25 was up to its name of largest car park again i see.
