Industrial inaction
There is a bloody train strike which conveniently overlaps with when I've got tickets to travel to LugRadio Live. Many routes will not be running and others will be at skeleton capacity. Not happy Jan...
Alternative A is to travel on Friday morning instead and fork out for for an extra night of hotel accomodation. This has the added benefit that I can make the planned conference festivities on the Friday night. I'll have to take a day off work and miss the party I was supposed to go to however.
Alternative B is to get a refund for the outward journey and take a bus instead. This is actually going to mean: tube to central London, 2.5 hour bus ride to Birmingham, shorter bus trip to Wolverhampton. High potential for suckage.
There is a chance that the strike will be called off but I can't really count on that. Alternative A is looking the most attractive right now... will have to sort this mess out tomorrow.
