I recently did a long train journey, down to Winchester, to spend the weekend at the SCBWI conference. Here's what I drew.
First leg - 1hr on the 15.23 from Sheffield to Birmingham:
Changing at Birmingham onto the 17.03 (except it's running 25 minutes late):
On the way back it's a mad dash and I'm just in time to catch the 17.50 back to Birmingham:
Two bits of bad news drop on me half way home. Firstly I find my hotel room key in my handbag (oops); secondly my connecting train at Birmingham is 20 minutes late, then 30, then 40... and finally arrives, 50 minutes late, so it's nearly 9pm before I get back underway (groan):
Whenever a train is late, twice the amount of passengers appear by magic from somewhere! It's so full I can't get near my reserved seat:
I get home just in time for bed at 10.45pm - what a marathon!
