The railway has been getting into the April Fools' Day spirit today.
On the station this morning: "we are sorry to announce that the 08:08 to Liverpool via Manchester has been cancelled. Your next fast train to Manchester is the 08:08 to Liverpool".

A pinkish red CrossCountry voyager train with yellow front and baby blue doors, parked in the refurbished, curving trainshed at Bristol Temple Meads. A guard hangs halfway out the door, watching for boarding passengers.
Anyway, nice train. An evolution, not a revolution. Comfortable seats and smells less like it's survived 20 years of hauling Plymouth to Aberdeen.

My journey home from Liverpool to Macclesfield... via Stafford. Stafford is really very far south out of the way from those two. I normally go via Stockport...
If you're stuck with the Manchester Piccadilly #UKTrains madness this week, I definitely recommend Citymapper! Trainline and the official train apps all had way worse routes, and didn't even show the better Citymapper alternatives as an option. Better even when it makes you do routes like this 🥲

A large steam locomotive (The Flying Scotsman) passing through a British railway station, it's raining lightly obscuring some of the details.
2 weeks before the first COVID lockdown (March 2020), I saw The Flying Scotsman. Been feeling down lately, and looking back through old photos isn't helping.
I find myself yearning for a time I can't return to.
