York Minster

Julie and myself caught the Train at
Heaton Chapel... to Manchester Piccadilly
After we had managed to sort our
train tkts ( purchased the day before via app).... but not showing on our screen...
so a very helpful Virgin employee sorted it for us... anyway we found that we could get the earlier train to York.... so we popped on to Platform 3 and plonked ourselves in the first carriage.... with only a few minutes to spare.... strangely enough the train seemed to be still on the platform 5 minutes later... strange we thought.... then came announcement .... this train is going to CREWE... yes we were on the wrong train
Argggh !!!!!!. The guard didn't say.... your train is "AT THE FRONT "... so we got off at the first stop which was Levenshulme
We were still on target for catching our original booked time... ' maybe'.. anyway
Whilst waiting... (about 10 mins).... an incident ensued... two Boys appeared up the ramp and one of them RIGHT IN FRONT OF US .... proceeded to Weald a KNIFE at the other boy ... saying I'm going to kill you
.... h e l p... it was so scary... and because of the bizarre day we were having.. I thought
Omg " sliding doors"... we were not meant to be here but fate had decided for us....
The train was arriving and the boys were very close to the edge... well my imagination was running away with me
Also the driver would not open any of the train doors because he obviously did not want the two Boys to get in.... they did run down the ramp and out of sight ... phew!
We got back to Piccadilly and boarded the correct train on the same platform
BUT..had to run to the front of the train with one minute to spare.... we were actually now on the train that we had originally booked... with reserved seats.... got off in York.... we were visiting a friend to cheer her up ( she is having chemo therapy)....
we did cheer Maggie up.... we all had a good laugh.... but it was scary...
