@RobyHelen Hard to believe considering the thunder storm we are passing through!

@disruptionproj Oh the joy of another Virgin train with reservations not working. More hassle.
English
@DrGregMarsden luckily everyone was in a good mood this morning! Not sure same will be true if it happens at 6.30 for next trip!
English
Nice start to the day. Taxi doesn't show. Whole family in the car for rush to station. Stress! Let down by the mobility system.
English
Irony 1 if train 4 mins later I get a refund, 2 if I caught train 30 mins lata I would have been back 30 mins earlier!
English
Back into Lancaster. Now in a traffic jam due to roadworks! More disruption.
English
@iaindocherty we are now at Wigan. So only 50 mins late!
English
On the move now. Let's just hope we keep moving. The joy of the permanent state of unpredictability on the trains!
English
Now another train is broken in front, and all the later trains are passing by each side of us! Pragmatism is beginning to break down!
English
So the announcement says we will make up the lost time en route, and then we stop and go nowhere for 20 mins. hope I can remain pragmatic!
English
Broken down trains, failed signals, the joy of a disrupted train journey. Pragmatism kicks in. Plenty of time to work, or just sit and chill
English
Well I guess 15 minutes later arrival at 22:15 on a Friday is a good result for the Brighton-Lancs jourbey; and I got a seat (unlike some)!
English
I'm wondering if today's journey (Brighton-Lancs) will be smooth. Friday's on the train; I fear the worst but hope for the best!

Lancs-Brighton by train: arrived on time despite 20 minute late arrival at Euston due to heat related speed restrictions; @Disruptionproj
