After completing my first year of commuting insane distances I was pleasantly surprised to turn up to a near empty car park this morning. I had my new shiny season rail ticket and my new shiny car park ticket ready which had liberated me of nearly £8,000 for the years privilege and I was already to use them.
Shame the train network wasn't ready.
