Really lovely and so clever.
The plane this morning was slightly bigger and more comfortable, the flight is only about thirty minutes. Very cloudy today but I took pics anyway.
The first train was on time, we got settled into our seats and then I felt dripping! I was suddenly getting quite wet as the strip above the window was leaking. Quite a few other people were affected to. It ended up with us being moved to first class and being offered a free tea or coffee! Not a bad start to the trip.
We had lunch in Edinburgh and then went to the station for the second train. With only a few minutes to go they hadn’t announced the platform so we rushed along and it was heaving and there were people in our seats! It transpired that three trains had been cancelled due to a fatality on the lines near London, meaning people from four trains were crowding in. We did manage to grab seats but the people standing were packed in like sardines. They were told to move forward into other carriages or the train wouldn’t leave, but eventually we were on our way. It was late arriving at Doncaster but we still had fifteen minutes to get to the right platform for the last train. That was not crowded and all was well.
We were met by Andreas husband at the station and he drove us home.
No more tonight as I am off to bed soon, will write more about the trip tomorrow.
Sounds like an epic journey. Getting upgraded was a pretty good start though. The second train really sounded a bit of a nightmare. Well it would have been for me! I’d have enjoyed the plane trip.
ReplyDeleteA few nice pics there considering you’ve been travelling all day. I’m sure the next few entries on here with be heavy with a few more 😊
Always nice to get home.
Certainly the train journeys couldn’t have been more different!
ReplyDeleteExhausting few days but in a good way. Will see how the garden and birds are getting on tomorrow!
