@BeeNetwork thanks to the driver of the 409 from Rochdale to Oldham who at 22:30 didnβt bother to go to Oldham bus station but went straight on. Thanks for leaving us to wait an extra half hour. Things why people donβt use buses. Just a terrible service
So on asking the next driver - apparently Oldham bus station is closed at present. No information at the bus station saying that - just pure fluke I decided to walk to the next stop. Please tell people at the stop if it is closed!!!
After on 25 years since doing the first of the UK 3 peaks, I finally added Ben Nevis to complete the three. Felt like it might have been easier back then π
Weekend breakfast served from 10:30 until 12:00. Straight from the farm via a local award winning butcher to your plate from our quality kitchen. #breakfast
On census day my sister drew a fantastic picture. She is an amazing artist and shows her brilliance on Instagram (art_rjp). Go and have a look. Her isolation illustration stuff is amazing.
If not for Covid19 tonight would have been my first time treading the @DLittleTheatre boards - at least the evening has been less nerve racking than that!!
Thank you Government. You privatise trains to improve things and yet of the 4 companies I use regularly only one has really done that - and you cancel their franchise @VirginTrains ! Northen and TPE continue to be awful and that seems ok?!!!!
About to watch @soldiermusical @hopemilltheatr1 for the second time. Only the second show ever I have done that for with a single cast. Have my handkerchief ready...will want a cast recording even more in just a couple of hours!
Well, my brother described the show as probably the best show he had ever seen. I agree. I feel very sorry for all those who missed it. And special thanks to @NAOMISLIGHTS and @TessaKadler for wishing us luck for the show at @LyceumTheatreOL this evening
@northernassist#newtimtable So the new new timetable begins today to make the service more reliable and .... train cancelled to Huddersfield because of a shortage of train drivers? Perhaps counting drivers before putting on trains would be a good starting point!
@TPExpress. Me to station official as I arrive at Huddersfield - is this train for Stalybridge? Official to me - Yes
Onto train.
Announcement - first stop Manchester Victoria!
Great!
@TPExpress. Guard on seeing my ticket, you will have to pay extra. Me - but I was told this was the train I needed. Guard - I made announcement. Me - after we had left the station. Guard - the screens in the platform. Me - the close ones I should have read are being replaced!
@TPExpress. Guard - you can't double back on that ticket. Me - I don't want to. I wanted to catch the train to the place I wanted to go, but was told I correctly. TPE, I just wanted support to get to my station, not a threat of paying more !
So @TPExpressTrains now does the Slaithwaite stops, but unlike the old Northern services TPE can't pronounce the stop properly! Great work on endearing yourselves to the locals π
