So it's -8 Celcius outside, there's snow everywhere and the footpaths are slippy.
Just the right time to go to Birmingham with Purch & Co ? Of course not but to hell with sensible decisions.
The day was Crazy
people everywhere,trains cancelled,trains diverted,birds flying round the train,crazy tones off drivers,trains going nowhere fast, snowfights waiting for delayed trains,a visit to the Pub,passengers waiting hours for trains that arn't coming.
The main rail objectove was to clear the new bay platforms at Moor Street for bash. Slip sliding down the Brummie pavements was an unexpected bonus.
And now for observation of the week :-
Two sets of stairs
one blocked with people and one empty for me to walk casually down, get onto the train and get first dibs of all the empty seats , while Joe Andrews & his wife are still dithering on the other. Rail Passengers they really are like uncoordinated sheep.
