You are not stupid Hazel, it was not clear at all that it was the Kings X train (stupid wee signs on the doors is not enough) xxx

 

[Northerner]

So glad you are safe and esconced for the night Hazel. And don;t for one minute blame yourself - the trains in this country are dreadful, unclear signs, changing platforms, unintelligible announcements and often you only get the information once the train has departed. 😡

I know it is an adventure you could have done without, but I hope you have a good night's sleep and an uneventful journey home tomorrow {{{Hazel}}}

Glad to hear you are safe and sound 🙂 the things people do to avoid sorting out there dads house......joking aside glad to here you have got somewhere sorted to stay.

Will you be able to use your rail ticket from today?

 

[MargB]

Thanks for letting us know. What a nuisance though.

 

[Hazel]

According to the ticket people in York - yes I should be able to use my 'unused' tickets, but all it will take is a 'jobsworth' on the train tomorrow.

Could have done without the ?84 hotel fee and the ?30 taxi fares to and from York station

Bottoms!!!!

 

[Sheilagh1958]

Hope there is no jobsworth around tomorrow.

 

[Lairyfairy]

Glad you are OK Hazel. What a pain in the backside Good job you've got your laptop with you so you can keep in touch. Good luck tomorrow.

Lx

 

[Monica]

Oh good!!!!
I'm very glad you're OK. I was a bit worried, well actually very worried.
I hope your journey tomorrow will be uneventful and you will get home safely.

Thanks Alan, Hazel texted me to say she is on the 9am train to Edinburgh where she will need to change for Glasgow but it is a slower train so she is not expecting to be home before about 4pm but she has used her ticket from yesterday so at least that's something.
