A bit chaotic to say the least!
Sprinter and andrewmay didn't turn up at all, Yorkie was late for some reason, didn't find out why, and ended up joining us at Stoke-on-Trent!
I met evil_hippo on the platform at BHM, and we thought matt hadn't turned up, but it turned out he had, he was sat a bit further down the carriage from us! He got off at Stoke, then back on again at Stoke on the return, which was when we realised who he was!
Anyway, the train, upon arrival at Manchester, formed the 1324 departure, giving it a 1 min turnaround time! (it was supposed to be the train departing 1 hour and 1 min later, but they changed it!). We had already got stuck behind a 323 going to Wolverhampton, and were delayed about 15 mins or so. So we completely missed scheduled departure from Manchester!
Seems on arrival at New Street we might have recruited a new member to RailUK too...
So, what happened to Sprinter and Andrewmay anyway???
