Trials and tribulations

The 10:06 from York to Edinburgh broke down in the
station. The next train left me with 7 mins to unload
my bike, navigate through an unfamiliar station, climb
and descend a footbridge only to see the Inverness
train depart as i arrived at its platform. The GNER
rep was unsympathetic and claimed that 7mins was ample
time for making the connection. He reluctantly issued
me with
A ticket for a later train to Inverness and intimated
that that was the best that I could expect.

Hi Vernon - I missed that train too, but I was waiting at Darlington. I thought there was someone looking like you and a bit hassled at Waverley (black bike, mileater jersey and camelback?) so I didn't say Hi as you seemed someowhat preoccupied.

Good luck with the rest of the ride.
