I heard on the news that Arriva are planning to go on strike late Jan early Feb, so maybe the sing-song on the way home from Leeds might turn intio a sing-a-long to & fro'.
Still going tho'.

The tarins you have to get around greater Manchester are abysmal, the ones you have to get from Piccadilly to places like Blackburn, Bolton, Preston etc. My mate works for Great North Western Trains. There certainly ain't nothing great about 'em, then again the service as a whole stinks. A few months back getting the train back to Sheffield from Manchester I bought a Sandwich and a packet of crisps. The crisps had gone dry and the sandwich was going green. Eventually I got my money back. Thought I'd share that little drama with you all.
