One noticeable difference immediately is that everything's in colour now, compared to back then.

As I said to someone last night, on my commute (as I had to stand all the way from London Bridge to Shoreham) ..... In little over 50 years man learnt to fly and made it to the moon - in 25 years of commuting from Shoreham to London, the reliability of the trains is still just as bad as it was when I started.

The Cure use one of those clips live as a backdrop when they play Jumping Someone Else's Train in a early singles encore.

If more and more people weren't using the trains, then it would be much better with less congestion !!

If the service was reliable, they wouldn't be cancelling trains, and I'd get a seat (to be fair, I've not stood all the way for a long time)

Wonder if in another 30 years the technology will be there to get people from London to Brighton in 3 mins, but it won't be implimented for another 30 after that
