Seeing as the minimum connection time for certain stations was unintentionally infringed on a few occasions last night, may I take this opportunity to direct you all to a very handy website called BR Times, which lists the minimum connection times at every single station across the country.

From Manchester Airport, we board the 0551 Northern service 1F90 to Halewood, arriving there at 0649 on Thursday morning.
