Arrival in Manchester Victoria

Thursday 9th February 2012, 7.35am (day 168)

Grumpy commuters, 9/2/12

Well, here we all are on the early morning cattle truck, pulling into a freezing cold, damp station (voted one of the 10 worst in the country a couple of years ago), and probably all off, like I was, to do something that our employer has decided is terribly important but almost certainly isn’t.

No wonder everyone’s face was like this. Damn sure mine was.

The train home

Monday 17th October 2011, 5.50pm (day 53)

Train home, 17/10/11

6.52am train in this morning, arrives Manchester 7.40ish. 5.17pm train home, arrives Hebden Bridge – supposedly – about 6pm, except today it was 7 minutes late for no particular reason. Thank God I don’t have to do this every day. Some people do, but it would kill me. (Note the photographer reflected in the window above the head of the napping guy.)
