I commuted for about 3 years daily Birmingham International to Euston
then Tube to the City.

It was taking me less time to commute than a colleague who travelled in
from Maidenhead who claimed the worst part of his journey was the
four-mile drive to Maidenhead station and the hopeless task of finding a
parking space.

I went the whole hog of booking a first class season, which by the time
you take into account the free food wasn't such a bad deal compared to
the standard fare.

Only trouble was, taken in combination with the lunchtime pigging out
session (why is there so much food everywhere in London?) my waistline
exploded.

Heh! The solution would have been to keep a bike locked up at Euston, and
do the leg to the city on that. Saves money, burns calories, and is
quicker!
