Another collection day

[Andy665]

Seem to have a new to me collection day journey on a regular basis, at the moment.

Where am I going today and what's being collected?

Up bright and early but not a crazy early start today

[Tony_T]

Outer Hebrides to collect a Focus?

[Andy665]

First leg - not done very often but I do like a bus journey

[blueg33]

Bus? I didnt know we had peasants on ph

Enjoy your collection

[Andy665]

Time for a breakfast muffin and a bit of culture before leg 2

[Andy665]

Leg 2 completed

30 mins ahead of schedule

Leg 3 here we come



Looking forward to seeing the car - quite different to the A110 it's indirectly replacing

Bus was only to the station, 3 trains required to reach destination

Absolutely, my adopted hometown and a genuinely wonderful area to live in

[blueg33]

3 trains - north east Somewhere or maybe east Midlands? Most places can be connected to Birmingham New Street with 2 trains

I'll go with Edinburgh or Glasgow; changing at Crewe or Preston

Sometimes, you have to really slum it to appreciate how lucky you are

Direct trains from New Street to those. I'm guessing somewhere in Yorkshire

Three trains to Yorkshire is rare though, most places can be done with two

They are, but there's been issues with Preston train lines (wrong leaves probably) So there's been a lot of changes

York could be a possibility; it's one train from Preston usually. But if SplityTicket has been used; sometimes you've to change at Brat'frd

Sending thoughts and prayers to OP if so.

NIGHTMARE

Train ground to a halt at Bletchley and stopped for over an hour

Major signalling problems at Euston with no idea when or if we would be moving on.

Made 7 new friends, an investment banker, a professional trombonist, an education adviser, young and old, male and female, Chinese, Indian, Brits

Called a minibus, got it take us to Luton Parkway and now at St Pancras to catch my last train.

2 hours behind schedule but with 7 new friends

Any guesses on car?

Small clue - less than £8k and petrol

[illmonkey]

A bus in Birmingham, visiting Luton and now having to listen to an IB. Maybe this car isn't for you, you've already been through hell.

At least it's a petrol!
