The wind changed direction

And this evening the station stinks of toxic burning plastic!

At the Station

I'm down here now and I can't smell anything, but the breeze is coming roughly from the south so that isn't surprising. If the smell is up today it should be across Glossopand I wouldn't have the car windows open in this weather. Sympathy to everyone who lives and works over there!

Air ok

I've been off work for a week which means not going anywhere near the station so I don't know how the smell has been. Yesterday I went back to work and the station was ok. Let's see how long it lasts.

Stench and conversation

Got off the train and the stench caused a lot of groans and conversation amongst those of us waiting for the lift. We all agreed it wouldn't happen in a trendy suburb. Told one woman I started a blog and she suggested I put notices on the car windows. It's tempting, but I know how annoying it is for some when they come back to the car and find a note under the wipers. I don't think I can do that! Maybe I can make up cards and every time I have a conversation (nearly every time it comes across the station) I can hand them out. What do you reckon?

Stench and burnt plastic

Yesterday the stink was really bad around midday on Glossop coming across the car yard I'm told. When I came home from work in the evening the stench got into the train while it was still moving and by the tme we pulled in and the doors opened we were smothered in burnt plastic smoke. I noted one woman walking along with her scarf held over her nose - very sensible!

Up the other way

I thought it had been remarkably fresh smelling recently - but today I found the smell again. The breeze has changed direction and the smell is now running parallel to the railway line across Glossop. All it takes is driving a different way home.
