Cheltenham was a nightmare, I had to travel from home in Teignmouth to our Bristol office on Wednesday and Friday that week , normally a pretty empty train but that week it was packed from Taunton to Bristol, Bristol train station was a nightmare with everyone trying to get on the train. The train's home especially the Friday were disgusting , tables full of empty beer cans and wine bottles, loads more all over the floor. Pretty sure it was doing that journey on the Friday I picked up the stupid cough I had for a few days afterwards.
