And more train users ...
A busy week for me - an Apache Tomcat course to present on Monday and Tuesday, and a Python course (that's a programming language) on Thursday and Friday contrived to fill my time.
Fairly typically, there were two or less customer cars parked at our training centre each day, even though we had seven trainees on the first course and six on the second. Why so few cars? Because people prefer to use the train ... or have to use the train because they don't have a car, or can't drive.
Friday evening ... we wrap up the course at 16:30 and run a lift to the station for three trainees; that's two journeys, Melksham to Derby and one journey, Melksham to London. I was at the station early; I don't know how many others came along from elsewhere to board, or how busy the 17:02 (a threatened service) was. I do know that one of our trainees had arrived at that time on Tuesday and told me that there were between 10 and 20 passengers.
