Another Problem on my ALR Journey

[Statto]

Well if your train is late and you miss your service, then youve missed it!!!
I just dont like putting myself in tight situations unless i have a get out clause. Just in case i end up over night where i shouldnt be.

Ouch, 8 late now. Howd you manage that! They still reckon 4 late at GQS though

He'll have less than 20 min to walk to GLC, any more delays he can kiss goodbye to the 4pm to Brum

I have not a clue. It just went rather slow on the approach the claudecruix.

Running 6 late. 1546 into GQS they reckon. You do push it

Oops, i mean 1542. Was looking at wrong station

 

[Statto]

Switched to arrivals & its saying it'll arrive at 15:42

 

[MadCommuter]

Snow not lying, so you should be ok. Do you know the walk/run?

Gives him time just. Need a bit of a job going though. Just to make sure. Will coming out of the low level waste anytime? Ive only left from the high level before.

I was wondering why this had so many posts! This has been an excellent read. Best of luck. (well not too much luck otherwise it isn't as interesting!)

What charity did you sign up to en route?

Btw, its a good job you don't smoke...you wouldn't have had a chance since Aberdeen!

I'd go to the shop[or wait for the trolly] on the train & buy a stiff drink after the last couple of hours.

 

[sonic2009]

[Blindtraveler]

[sonic2009]

wrong person.. they were just rude the last time i travelled. !!

 

[caliwag]

Sorry, went for a beer. So you're Central to where now Sonic? Any chance of hot food on the Voyager?

 

[Blindtraveler]

thought this was VT not XC? didnt think VT did rood staff. Voyager bit of a come down from a 1st class mk3 sleaper? At least you have decent buffet.

 

[MadCommuter]

I calculate you have 47 mins to wait at Brum. Surely you can fit a bit of extra mileage in during that time...

 

[sonic2009]

I'm currently enroute to carlisle. I dont kno about hot food. all i kno is ive been given sandwiches now! just passing through cambuslang..

 

[Blindtraveler]

re brum extra milage, how about a quick trip to aston and back on cross city line? Should be doable. Could check.

 

[MadCommuter]

Duplicate Post - sorry, dodgy Wi-Fi

I suggest a wander up into The Pallasades. Starbucks just at top of escalators. Thats what i did! Look out for the local beggar who hangs around the Starbucks!!

 

[MadCommuter]

Is that the year 2042? I've heard stories about the crosscity line, but didn't realise it was that bad.
