SHOT DECEMBER 2019 AND MOVED FROM MY OLD CHANNEL:
Tried to record what it's like travelling by train in the UK, during the South Western Railway RMT Strike.
The strike is against SWR taking Guards off the trains - you know, those people who look after us and have families to feed - so the company removed a load of trains and charge me the same money.
The knock-on effect is that I have to pay extra, for a reduced service.
I try to find the joy in this... while travelling on a South Western Railway Class 450 to London Waterloo, Class 455 to Clapham Junction, London Overground Class 378, London Underground and Southern Railway Class 377 to Shepherds Bush/Milton Keynes.
What do you think?
Does part of you slightly miss the crush of 2019/2020?
Would love to hear your experiences in the comments below.
Sorry about the audio - the heavy rain didn't help. I've subtitled this video, if you want to click on the 'closed captions' button to get a better idea of what's being said!
