GNER, Ascot week
The 1703 was cancelled. Wrong type of management on the line. Two trains full of people piled onto the 1733. Restaurant service was limited to first class. Me and my standard class jumped up upgrade to first class just wasn't going to get a look in. Resigned to fate. Did Times Sudoku while perching on an incidental seat. No Meal
While queueing at Wakefield to pay the parking fee I was assailed by a wily traveller who spotted the vast numbers trying to get the 1733 and instead took the Hull Executive (1720 stops at Doncaster). "Who the *** wants to go to Hull?" Turns out the resto car was half empty and they got a good meal and swapped trains at Doncaster and picked up the emptying 1703 to complete their journey.
Take away volcano pizza from Quattro. Quite tasty. No Caesar salad but bottle of Red wine quaffed in 15 mins ( local personal best). Must have been the stress.
