Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, get off the train at Westbury
I don't know why I keep doing it, but on the way back from Londinium to Plymouth I have a habit of changing trains at Westbury. I say changing trains, that would imply a train will arrive at some point to allow me to continue my journey. Invariably it does not. I have walked around the fishing lake, I have walked into town, I have walked out again. I have stared at the entrance to what I think is a garden roller museum, but not dared to enter. I have bought a chocolate bar at the petrol station. I have nearly frozen to death in the middle of winter because none of the station buildings were open. I hold Westbury responsible for me starting smoking again, simply because there was nothing else to do than slowly kill myself.

I admit you are unlikely to be stabbed or robbed or sucked off by a chavette, but please, when the train rolls up to the platform, do not get up out of your seat.

That bloody place
Westbury is just shit. I got stuck there while changing trains to Brighton while I lived in Plymouth. It really is a one horse town and the horse died!

I too have walked around the lake, bought chocolate at the garage (when it is bloody open) and sat on a cold uncomfortable bench because they lock up the waiting rooms when the old folk have gone to be at half past four.

Westbury is shite...
