Joinworthy

Forget climate change, human rights and Save the British Library… THIS campaign speaks to my heart!


I have seen people on Facebook who have joined dozens or hundreds of groups. I have been much more choosey. ‘Campaign for a faster X5’, having been judged joinworthy, takes my group memberships to four.

The X5 takes 3.5 hours to travel between Cambridge and Oxford. That’s about the same distance as Melbourne to Shepparton. If you take the train between Cambridge and Oxford via London, it takes 2.5 hours and costs about two or three times as much — that’s £34 or A$85 return with a student discount. Frightening, isn’t it?

    After you told me about MegaBus, I started looking for cheap fares. I found the pound fare, but when i saw the hours it takes, i didn’t bother trying.
