Full of indignation! Delays 2/4/08

Oh public transport

I stopped tracking them for a while. Riding the Metrolink drove me into despair, despair I tell you. But I think now is a good time to remind the Internet that Stagecoach Metrolink and Northern Rail are horrendous forms of transport.

Trains and Trams! Don't Do It!

AM: 8:13 Southport to Manchester Victoria, 35 minutes late thanks to a problem attaching extra carriages at Wigan. Thankfully someone had a shred of intelligence and managed to one of the trains to the 8:35. Was still 36 minutes late to work though, partially thanks to the brain dead ticket inspector at Deansgate who either failed reading comprehension or was being a dick. Take your pick, both are equally likely in my experience.

5:32 tram from Exchange Quay to Piccadilly was rammed. That pretty much can only mean that the earlier 5:20 didn't turn up. (Approximate times, tram riders aren't good enough for real timetables.)
