Last two weeks involved the four trips to Birmingham - 0618 from Bangor to Crewe (Virgin) and then the 0830 from Crewe to Birmingham with London Midland arriving at Birmingham New Street at 9.15. We left BNS at 1717 with Virgin, changed at Crewe to arrive back at Bangor at 2028. Very efficient clean services all, despite being delayed at New Street we seemed to be on time everywhere else. Not too crowded either. Figured out over the four days we had spent 24 hours travelling. Finished a crap book I'd been reading for a few weeks, read two editions of Private Eye, four copies of the Evening Standard and drank loads of mediocre coffee and survived on dreadful fast food. Chilling today hopefully never ro darken NS's platforms ever again. In fairness they've done a marvellous job of New Street station. Looks like a giant shiny spaceship has landed in the grubby streets of Brum.
