On my travels again

A fairly short entry today, I caught the 7.45 am but into Hull and had plenty of time to collect my tickets before catching the  rain to Doncaster.. I had an hour in Doncaster so walked to the shopping centre just next to the station. Very modern and worth a visit another time I think. The only photos today as well!

When I got back to the station the board said that my train had been cancelled. Brief panic and then to the information desk. The lady said I could catch the one before or the one after, but on the platform the announcer said that our tickets would be valid on the one after at 11.48 am. A bit more time to kill then when the train was arriving they didn’t appear to mention Peterborough as a stop. I raced back to the guard, and no it wasn’t stopping at Peterborough! Great, but a lady rail worker on the platform said I could catch the next one. Panic over and the eventual train wasn’t too crowded. Rachel and Skip were at the station when I arrived and had a quick cuppa with them before they took me over to Orton to see Margherita and Rose. Very nice time with them, showed them photos from the holiday thanks to the iPad and Margherita and I had a game of Scrabble. I caught the bus back and arrived at Rachel’s in time for us to go out to dinner at the Paul Pry. After that we relaxed and watched an episode of George Gently.
