Loads on this week, so there’s little chance of blogging ’till Monday. In the meantime, here’s a nice idea and a thought for the weekend.    …

I’ve spent a lot of time in train stations this month. It’s made me wonder why train companies don’t work harder at making this part of the experience better for their customers, since it’s the beginning and end of their journey. Two observations have revealed themselves. 1. It’s annoying when you’re desperate for the loo…
