fluffymarkSo today they finally took a statement from me - beforehand I was a bit stressed about giving a witness statement, wasn't sure what was involved, but the BT police were very friendly and supportive and asked me to tell things slowly and carefully. And in the end, it was a relief to tell the whole event to someone, and them to listen attentively to all the details, and to get it all off my chest, and now that its out of me, I feel more free, like I've got past it now, and it's behind me. The emotions and the pain and the fear have all been signed away on forms. It's an escape.
They tell me theres an organized mob of these yobs, attacking on the Cambridge-London train often, sometimes in groups as large as 30-40. They get on and off at intermediate stations and often cause mayhem. In future I'm going to feel safe only on the nonstop services.

Date: 2003-04-30 01:09 pm (UTC)Luckily this tim i had very little to steal - if they'd strck the previous two times i'd been returning from Cambridge, they would have either found me with a bag full of stuff from Prague, including my camera, which i would have been a big loss, or the time I was the Calling DJ, when I had a lot of pounds worth of CDs in my bag. On one of those occasions i was given a survey to full out on the train about train security and how safe i felt on the journey. If they give me sucha survey again on that route i'll have *very* different opinions on the matter now.
