I've booked a train to and from Birmingham to drop off the Overambitious Dissertation on Wednesday (at substantial cost to myself, but probably worth it for the lack of panic over Royal Mail).

And that, as they say, will be that.

It's become more overambitious than I could have imagined and it'll never be perfect, and I still have to write those 4K words about it, but yeah. There is heart and soul there.

They have places above the seats to put luggage, but I can't reach them; I rode on a brand-new Pendolino on my way to Liverpool, and there were absolutely no hiccups at all (in fact only Virgin runs direct to Edinburgh, everything else goes through Glasgow, which makes me a grumpy bunny because that adds ninety minutes travel time and I could be at Carlisle by then!). Northern Rail, on the other hand... rather nasty culture shock for me there (the average annual delay for a train in Japan is three seconds, both public and private rail lines).
