I was on the platform of Sunderland station last Saturday evening, between 8 and 830pm I think, I'd had a few, waiting for the train south to Horden, when it flew it straight past without stopping, looked rammed, but no more than usual, anyone else encountered this before? ended up having a few more drinks and got a taxi home.

TBH I thought it would be about 10 minutes from the town, it was more like 15 (I was in The Beehive, but that wont happen againI'm not a young whippersnapper these days, T. (Sid from H/pool)
)
It used to be 5-10 minutes, but I'm 59 and am usually physically & mentally drained, after watching 90+ minutes of a Sunland match.TBH I thought it would be about 10 minutes from the town, it was more like 15 (I was in The Beehive, but that wont happen again
I'm sat on the 16:13pm Grand Central, out of H/pool.
The 2 carriage, Northern Rail service, left H/pool at 16:02pm, and was almost empty.

Yeah mate, I’m staying up. A few of us have booked a travel lodge for £48. Think they’re sold out now too.
I’d have been up for that bus too. Really limited in travel options for evening games heading back to Hartlepool/Teesside. It’s so frustrating.
Just noticed, shite, 10.05pm last train, 1125 replaced with a bus.
No doubt in my mind though that they’ll have the common sense to add a few carriages on.

Don't bank on extra carriages . . . or common sense, especially where Northern Rail is concerned.
I was trying to be funny man HC!!!
