Going Nowhere

Northampton on a balmy October evening. I'm sure shoe fans must flock to Northampton in their tens but when you have just been dumped unceremoniously there two and a half hours after leaving London and still only half way home it's not on the bucket list.

We spent a fun packed half an hour here before another train arrived for us to stand in. That one got us as far as Birmingham airport before losing interest and heading back to London leaving us to leg it across three platforms to catch the train behind into New Street. Lots of women and children didn't make it. I'm no expert but surely it should have been possible to make that change happen on the same platform ??

West London to Birmingham. Five hours. Five trains. Such fun. Such. Fun.

On the plus side. I saw Angela Rippon on Kensington High Street, I got a free bag, my ticket didn't get checked and my parking was only a tenner. And so to bed.
