# Don't talk to me about trains
I have to travel to Birmingham from the West Country today for a course.
Virgin are saying not to travel but National Rail Enquiries are saying I should go to the station.
Aaaargh!

I foresee a weekend wasted in a railway station, followed by my boss whinging that I've wasted 800 quid by not turning up for my course.

He's a really, really short bugger too.

[EDIT: If Virgin say not to travel then don't.]

# I don't have a choice.
Anyway, Virgin's info is several hours out of date.
The ticket is for a specific time only and nobody will tell me if I'll be able to use it at another time, so I have to try I suppose.

On the bright side, I can claim all the (non) travel time back.

Oh well, better get going.
