Just saw that, £38 off peak to London City airport, 28 minute ride to the centre for where I need to get to, hell, sod the train forever at that price.

ETA, I cannot normally pre book due too ate changes in where I need to be. So have to live with the silly price tickets.

Be interesting to see the engineering.
