Or the tale of how to never trust the rail network.
Nicely planned trip, Bognor to Victoria, underground to Kings Cross, then Kings Cross to Peterbrough. Arriving about 1pm in time to watch the early game on TV
Great plan, almost
Catching the 12.03 from Kings Cross, paying extra for the fast train we get to within about a mile of Peterbrough and stop because the train in front has broken down. Numerous promises of the train in front going to move, then we are going to go back to Kings Cross, then the train in front is going to move again. Then the real piss take of the two "slower" trains behind us going past us!
Eventually arrive around 3.40pm, missed first half and after getting a taxi to the ground make it in after about 5 mins of the second half having missed 2 goals.
Didn't get the hoped for catch up with my son which was one of the main reasons for going so very annoyed even though we won and played very well
