CROSS COUNTRY is a UK railway company that sort of goes up the middle of England and includes Oxford on its way to wherever it ends up.
Engineering works are always a bit of a problem. But when the trains do run they have a very useful socket into which you can shove your charger for your PC or your mobile phone.
This is a bit blurry – sorry about that but the train was shifting along quite nicely. It’s a 240V 13A socket with a label above it saying only to be used with PCs and mobile phones.
Makes me wonder a bit. Has Cross Country perhaps come across an individual who has attempted to plug his microwave oven in, or his vacuum cleaner? Or his or her electric toothbrush? Or….. or…. My mind is boggling… ♥

I have, in the past, ignored said notices and used these sockets to enable me to pre-configure networking and comms gear on the way to clients sites. Makes for an efficient use of travel time, if not bemused looks from fellow passengers.
