After a 1hr switchover, multiple delays and cancellations, some of which were planned, others we watched happen in real time. My train arrived.

It's 35C today, another record breaking heatwave for England, one of the many.

This train has no aircon. Fedizens, it is baking in here.
Home ETA 11PM

I want a shower.

The Conductor is checking tickets and just informed a lady she's going the wrong way, so it could be worse.

Finally arrived in London, after one of the worst train journeys Iโ€™ve had in years ๐Ÿ˜คโ˜น๏ธ

Our train network *really* needs more investment.

Good morning! I feel tired today but gonna push through.
I have a moment to revisit the sidequest, so... Part 3 gives me an opportunity to cite another charity.

This is Northern's "Rob Burrow CBE - Journey of Strength"

And this livery supports charity for Motor Neurone Disease.

For more info, please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Burrow

Ok. Sidequest Part 2.

I don't see this very often so I consider it a bit rare. Came thru today and it's nice to see.
This is East Midlands Railway's Pride train!

Ok. I said I had a side quest at work... Special liveries!
So, here's the first!
This is a TPE Class 185 in livery for Andy's Man Club, a mens' suicide prevention charity.
Very much a worthy cause.

So. I talked with a #CrossCountry driver and while the #Voyager trains got a shiny new vinyl wrap and newer, bouncier seats the drivers cab didn't get anything.
I'd have expected a new seat after 20-odd years of service..
