@frimpongpool @ECTXPLXSM Line’s closed all week for upgrades

[Jack @jackyapping]

Genuinely mental that the quickest, and only reliable, route of going from Chester to Newcastle today is via London

Batshit insane British rail

[Jack @jackyapping]

@MingeTMerciless @crispsident Obviously the consumer’s fault that every line in the north had issues! How dare I need to travel on a Monday

[Jack @jackyapping]

@crispsident But if needing certainty under time pressure, the one change via London using two routes certainly running and unaffected all day is still the quickest and simplest overall I’ve found

[Jack @jackyapping]

@crispsident So I could have got 4 different trains and a bus and maybe saved 20 minutes total over 5 hours if the traffic wasn’t bad, and hope my delicate baggage item didn’t get bashed out down in the hold

[Jack @jackyapping]

@ECTXPLXSM I’d never been to Chester before and don’t know anyone there

[Jack @jackyapping]

@0_954499736 That’s not quicker or simpler than the one change in London express service each way

[Jack @jackyapping]

@BasebornManjack Prove me wrong by finding a quicker and simpler route from yesterday afternoon then

[Jack @jackyapping]

@JamieCorr2273 Leeds to York line is closed

[Jack @jackyapping]

@TomH1878 Lvpl to ncl not running because Leeds to York line is closed

[Jack @jackyapping]

@fionaajade @joe04187 That’s not quicker or simpler

[Jack @jackyapping]

@ThePrittster Did you honestly think I didn’t intend on doing the exact same route

Leeds to York line is closed all week, which knocks out Leeds to NCL too

Nothing was moving north of Liverpool

Carlisle to Newcastle line was shut with a tree on the tracks

Google maps is dumb

[Jack @jackyapping]

@ECTXPLXSM Did you honestly think I didn’t search the exact same route

Leeds to York line is closed all week, which knocks out Leeds to NCL too

Nothing was moving north of Liverpool

Carlisle to Newcastle line was shut with a tree on the tracks

[Jack @jackyapping]

@sin18m @Anarcho_Invest Prove that you’re so smart by finding a quicker and simpler route from yesterday afternoon then

[Jack @jackyapping]

@steve_fpl_ @BusFilmer2026 @Prosserd68 As I said, prove me wrong by finding a quicker and simpler route from yesterday afternoon then

[Jack @jackyapping]

@trayctoonkn The post specifies ‘today’

[Jack @jackyapping]

@davidg3907 Leeds to York line closed
Carlisle to NCL line closed

[Jack @jackyapping]

@Prosserd68 @AbcAbc347433 @BusFilmer2026 Find me a quicker and simpler route then

[Jack @jackyapping]

@BusFilmer2026 @Prosserd68 You silly clown the line the was closed

[Jack @jackyapping]

@DrNelsonChong Considered it but couldn’t put the Mac screen I was travelling with in the hold

[Jack @jackyapping]

@Zephyrgold58 Google maps doesn’t know about line closures

Nothing Leeds to Newcastle
Nothing Leeds to York (both long term)

Nothing running north of Warrington (weather)
Carlisle to Newcastle closed (weather)

5hr19 via Brum isn’t quicker or simpler than London route
