Shimrod, my old friend Pat used to get that blooming Liverpool train (starting from Norwich) There were often only TWO carriages, and it was laughingly called a Sprinter!! Sometimes only ONE toilet was working. She was usually turfed out at Nottingham, no explanation. The evicted passengers had to cart their suitcases up and down stairs across the tracks to get a substitute train. She's elderly and arthritic. Now she gets the flight from Norwich to Manchester.
