I was before but something has come up on the Saturday that I don't need a hangover for So no Friday drinking for me

I have tickets, booked on the slower train (cheapskate) arriving 11:02.
Mind you, I had paid for tickets to Brighton and didn't make it...

That 08:46 to Crewe is an incredibly cheap and useful train, I've used it so many times for weekday trips out for the day and will continue to do so. I've noticed that in the winter at least that the 09:07 to Lime Street has been virtually empty and have got cheap advance tickets but they seem to keep changing things. I wonder why Virgin WC have suddenly been painting their trains in white? Shurely not a rebranding / marketing exercise to divert attention form the ECML issue.
if it is it's just too pathetic for words. In my experience Virgin WC are one of the few companies actually doing a reasonable job.

I'm definitely there and my current plan is to kick off with a VERY swift one in Mellards then down to the Lymestone Vaults, Joules pub and Wellers. After that it's the micropubby central four then up to the "Greyhound" area (either via a long hobble or by bus) and the micropub there and the Greyhound. Whether I make it to the Hopinn is in the lap of the gods and I was surprised to see that I had visited the Victoria but reading my review it all came flooding back, "What the copying and pasting from Trip Advisor?" I heard someone cry!.

I'm on the 19:44 back to Wolverhampton.

Hi Aqualung, what train are you catching up from Wolvo?

Hope they're back from Chicken Pox Quarantine.

Hope they're back from Chicken Pox Quarantine.

Still planning to be there as long as I'm feeling up to it.

Well, that's a lot more hopeful than "No, I'm still in Greece"!

Hope you can make it.

As am I, be good to see you after these many years!
