My bum does not look so big in a South West Trains carriage

Went to pick up the new au-pair from ffice:smarttags" />Waterloo station yesterday. I got a reminder of how rarely I take the train these days as it was the first time I got on one of the ‘new’ South West Trains carriages. You know the ones which are meant to replace the old slam door trains but are going to be taken out of service already because they break down to often, or so Him Indoors tells me. If it is the case it would be a shame because it was rather more comfortable than the usual. I am sure I was not the only one to think so as 2 men had fallen asleep in their seats.

I suppose the girl who got on the train before me would have one minor complaint about the layout. The corridor/alley is slightly narrower than on older trains and the poor girl managed to wedge herself between the two aisle seats on the way down to an available place to sit. She got herself unstuck and got through sideways eventually. I could see half hidden grins and sniggers from fellow travellers and prepared myself to be mortified as I followed in her footsteps. I was glad to find out I did not need to go sideways or breathe in. Always nice to find out I am not quite as fat as I think I am, then again, after tonight’s Chinese takeaway I may need to write to South West train and ask them to make sure they only put the old trains on our line for a bit I feel like my tummy is going to burst.

Oh how dreadful. Well, embarrassment is a powerful motivator I suppose.
