Sod’s Law

 


The only straight through train to London was cancelled at the last minute.
Fuck
We were on it. 
Managed to get to Crewe where we didn’t follow the crowds battling for the Euston trains and jumped on an empty delayed train which means we should get to the Opera house in time for supper
Hey fucking ho

    This run of bad luck travelling is getting ridiculous and straining credibility. Have you thought of taking up long distance cycling to get round it? :D

  4. Argh! The trains are really a mess these days. Was this related to strike action?

    You are very lucky to have your sister on hand to care for you just in case of accident or illness

    You’ve got to be kidding, not again. You seem to have the worst luck with transportation. I hope the alternate route got you there on time. I always heard British trains were so good. Is all this because of Brexit?

      "I always heard British trains were so good"... Who on earth told you that!? Can't have been a recent traveller. Highly delay-prone and highly expensive (Andrew S.)

  19. You really do have the worst travel luck of anyone I've ever known. You might need to visit an exorcist to get whatever demon is causing all this to be cast from you.

  20. The trains sure do have an awful “track” record. Nice you were in such good company.
