Thu, 12:36 : This is going well. Train services disrupted NOT by the weather, but by train company being surprised by number of passengers. Thu, 12:38 : Now on rail replacement bus service. This longish journey is going to be longer than anticipated. Thu, 12:50 : There's a tailback on the M60. A bloody tailback. I'll be lucky to be home by midnight at this rate. Thu, 12:53 : Can't wait for the bit where I'm lugging my stuff from Manchester Victoria to Piccadilly and the wheels fall off my suitcase. The hilarity. Thu, 14:25 : Going up the approach to Manchester Piccadilly was entertaining. Every other person had a Greggs pastie stuck in their face. Thu, 14:57 : Train passed an interesting stone-sided stream. Then I realised it was a farm road. It's wet around here. Thu, 15:36 : Delays expected at Birmingham New Street due to congestion apparently caused by, and I wish I was joking, trains. Thu, 21:21 : Oh, dear. The Westboro Baptist Church's twitter feed has been hacked. @GodHatesFagsWBC Quelle dommage.
