itravelnet.com Travel Blog: September 2005

I was meant to be going to Oxford via megabus.com but it went all pear shaped. The bus was leaving at 12 midday and I arrived at the bus stop area at 5 to. The megabus wasn't there but there was an Oxford Tube bus.

It turns out that The Oxford Tube takes Megabus passengers to Oxford (they are both run by Stagecoach). It didn't say this on my ticket that I printed out. So I missed the bus.

Fortunately the ticket I got was a free plus 50p booking fee ticket, otherwise I might have been upset about it all. I just took it as a 50 pence lesson in reading ticket details in the future.

England Regain the Ashes - How Dreadful

Today England won the fifth test against Australia and regained the Ashes. Australia have held the Ashes since 1989 - that's half of my lifetime! I know it's only a game but how can sport have the power to make you feel so dreadful?

At the end of the day though it is good for the game, as much as it pains me to say it. Interest has been revived here in England, and this famous rivalry over this unique trophy continues.
