Northern trains

I was on the 16:03. Just about squeezed on.

Then loads of mixed messages.

Driver said it'll be leaving in 30min.

I was bursting so asked driver if I had time to get off and quick loo trip. Yeah no problem.

Get back to platform train had driven away.

Schoolboy error my part, but pissed off the train left without me.

17:04 cancelled.

£35 gone on a taxi.
:lol: :lol:

Aye, I was on that too, but it cost me £60 for the cab :evil:
 
Was at other end of train. Couldn't get through.

Oooh and it was out of order the driver said. So didn't really have much choice.
No chance I’d be trusting one of their employees marra!

Schoolboy error
How difficult is it for schedules to consider peak times like footy matches a Xmas shopping. The management teams must be shit and have no pressure on them to perform
Surely they’re losing out on money due to the conductor not being able to move up and down the train to check tickets because the trains are that packed? Brainless

We've argued this case for years bout them losing cash
 
Can't be arsed paying hotel money just because sky sports have ruined another good fixture personally. Attendance numbers should hopefully reflect what they're doing to the game.

Agreed mate. It will look shit on the TV and we as a Club will get pelters for having shit fans ect although Sky will not say why i.e no public transport ect.

I bailed out due to the weather, well the forecast and the possibility of LNER cancelling trains after the match, leaving me stranded. It’s happened before and didn’t want to chance it.

Was on same train.
Was shit the amount of people that got off when guy said train wasnt moving for a while, then 5 mins later set off.
Toilet wasnt out of order the problem was the 6 people stood inside toilet and the dozen or so in the entrance area :evil:
Was typically carnage, quite a lot of kids on too, luckily most sat down cos it was very squeezed
 
Rushed round like a right dickhead to get 4 bottles of Peroni for the train to only be stuck on the train for 20 minutes in the dark without it moving :lol: If it wasn’t for the Peroni keeping me at bay I’d have been fuming
