I try to avoid flying if at all possible.

I try to avoid flying if at all possible. Most of my recent long distance trips involved trains but for personal reasons I have to get somewhere in a hurry, so a plane it is.

On the plus side, nice view from the gate right now.

Where in the world have I landed? Those who know, know.

@ruari That's some Elizabeth Line seating right there.

@thomasp so fast!

@ruari Took it from Heathrow to Reading just over a month ago. Fairly recognisable colour scheme

@thomasp Yes it is distinctive indeed. My youngest has a cushion in this colour scheme in their room. We picked it up from the London Transport museum on a previous trip.

@thomasp same material as well, which sort of makes it seem disgusting because you are half expecting it to be wildly unhygienic. Like if you brought a pub carpet into your bedroom.

@thomasp On another topic. It's so weird having everyone around me on public transport talking English all the time. It's wildly distracting!

@ruari Oh yeah, I always get that feeling when I travel in the UK!
