Went to Long Eaton and Leicester today and today just really wasn't XC's day
the 10:10 out of Derby for Nottingham delayed due to, according to Derby station, a signaling failure, according to their guard, the other unit broke down and they had to wait for a new one
Then, at Long Eaton, all of the Cardiff trains to Nottingham were late speeding through, one train from BHM to Nottingham got cancelled because of a member of staff not turning up, according to the automated voice at the platform
And then, at Leicester, things could only get better(!) All trains coming out of BHM to either terminate at Leicester or heading to Stansted delayed with no reason given but a points problem in or around Water Orton according to one of my new friends at Leicester
When it isn't a TOC's day, it just isn't their day but, it is Cross Country so
