If you want to make yourself feel better about lockdown, just reply to this message with your worst train experiences/least favourite station.

For me - anything via Manchester Oxford road, euston on a Friday night with bad weather and all trains cancelled.

The number of Friday evenings I’ve spent standing in Euston station staring at the boards as everything cancels and more people come in. And all the times I’ve stood in the passing rain freezing my arse off at Oxford road seeing trains just magically disappear from the board.

Sitting on the floor next to the loos on Virgin trains because the seat reservations arent working. Trying to work out where your fucking platform is at Birmingham New Street, finding it and then seeing there’s been a platform alteration.

Paying £300 for a return from Liverpool to London at peak hours only for the train to be cancelled because they’re short staffed.

Trying to travel literally ANYWHERE via train on a bank holiday
