Finally managed to get onboard one of the new @CrossCountryUK refurbed Turbostar, unfortunately it was so busy, I didn't get to try the seats, the WiFi didn't work and judging by the temperature neither was the air con. However, the ticket inspector was actually checking today π
@CrossCountryUK Unfortunately the next two services don't leave me enough time to get my flight being as they're only once an hour, so I'm having to pay for a taxi. I trust I can claim my ticket costs back for the train?
@EastMidRailway I'm on the delayed service from Manchester, I've missed the 21:45 connection I was meant to be getting in Sheffield to Leicester, I'm now continuing to Nottingham but if we're much more delayed, I'll miss the 23:20 to Leicester, can this be held if need be?
@siliconglen@coopuk Clearly not a thought spared for the staff who often spend 8+ hours a day in the store. The music and "Coop Radio" is a nice thing for them to have while on shift.
A nice afternoon for a trip home to #Aberdeen on one of these old machines! Can't beat a good old #HST Always reminds me of being a kid watching them pull out of Leicester Railway station waiting for my Mum to finish work. @ScotRail
@PiddlyStations Ah I did that as a MAN-GVA on the 789 when they first started it. It wasn't as cheap as I'd hopped, but it was a great flight. Only 2 of us actually got off in GVA.
