Funny you should say that. Getting there was no problem but getting back was a different story! The 17.13 from Accy to Preston was cancelled (no driver available). So it was a mad panic to get to Birmingham in time for the last train of the day to Bristol.

Incidentally, regular users of trains will probably know that Northern Rail thinks that the first station west of Accrington is "Church and Oswaldtwhistle" and the pronunciation of Pleasington as "Pleesington" is a joke. I also note that there are no emergency telephone/communication facilities at Accrington station. But the trains are being repainted in pretty colours!

Forget HS2 and invest in local trains in the north of England.

But we got our 3 points so what did it matter??!!
