Well it SAYS it's a train ...



Six off ... and three to join it. Mid afternoon. Not bad seeing as we normally loose 80% of our passengers when trains are replaced by buses - except this isn't a bus - it says it's a train.



And it actually WAS on time - which was a shame for the passenger who's lift drove him into the station forecourt at the bus drove out.







It would have been nice to have had details of the engineering would this weekend rather that the strikes from last weekend and the start of the week gone still being advertised.
