The Windermere-Oxenholme train was running late. As it was entering Oxenholme, the train south was also arriving. There was a mad rush under the subway to get the south conection. Cases on wheels going at speed with people following. Train staff shouting to people to get on the train because it was about to set off. Told to get on first class and walk through. Took nearly to Lancastet for everyone to settle. Why? When arrived at Preston, there was a 17 minute wait until the advertised departure time. Why couldnt there have been a decision made to delay the departure at Oxenholme and a more orderly transfer encouraged?
