At Victoria — but not on the train

Wednesday 7th January 2015, 3.35pm (day 1,231)

Manchester Victoria station passes by through the windows of a Metrolink tram. Why was I on a Metrolink tram going through Victoria, the place where I normally catch my train home? Because there weren’t any bloody trains from Victoria this afternoon, were there. Tram to Rochdale instead, three-hour journey home, welcome back to the 2015 commute indeed.

I saw the info on Twitter and wondered how it would affect you. Sue

    Not really. I follow Northern Rail on Twitter as they run our local services. Sue
