What was a simple plan to go and see a friend at half term is quickly turning into some kind of nightmare. The only route I can find from Cheltenham to Pokesdown by train, I have to change twice at Bristol Temple Meads and Southampton.

And bearing in mind I haven't really travelled alone by train before, that doesn't settle the nerves.

Crap. Why didn't I do this when I was younger?

GAGH.

That is all.
