Turned out it had
5 working days to get a new debit card, £5 for a new photo card, £10 to get my train pass reissued, £20 on Oyster card gone.
Well, at least I got my glasses back!
well, i got thrown off chiltern railways the other day coz i was on a bike during peak times. I would like to point out that i was in a "bike carriage", that i was only person with a bike and for that matter there were only about 10 people in both the bike carriage and the whole of the passenger carriage next to it.
and i would like to ask Chiltern what they did with all that empty bike space after they threw me off. i would also like to point out that i was only going from Solihull to Warwick (2 stops) and Dorridge (the inbetween stop) is pretty much a ghost station.
fukwits. Even the station man said the train inspector was just being a jobsworth. i asked him if jobsworth is spelt A S S and ends in Hole. he said yea.
normally i don't get the train, i only diverted to the train station coz i was late. but this meant i then was even later so couldn't ride to work, had to return home and get my car and then was still half hour late.
on the upside, i did not leave my Oakleys behind

Not really cycling related but.....
Does make you wonder about the inspector. I mean, had you stayed on, would it have impinged upon any passengers? Does this now make you want to use their trains? (shakes head)
It would seem to be a bit of a lack of common sense. Don't get me wrong, I understand rules can be rules, but I don't know. A simple "The train's not busy today, so stay on, but just so you know you're not supposed to bring a bike on during these hours..."delivered with a cheerful smile could have made all the difference. Would it have taken that much (thought?) to have done something like that and probably create a better end result for everyone concerned?

That's some fine logic there.
I was going to say "I like the way you think!" but in hindsight I should state that I really don't like the way you think
Hehe sorry black humour, perhaps best left in the pub
Glad you got your glasses back
