    Apparently we're only going forward to Warrington, but at least we'll be able to stretch legs there

    Not yet. We're at Warrington and off the train, but no clue about how we move forward.

    I wish... having a (increasingly irate) 10 year old in tow, and needing to drive when (if) we get back to Nuneaton rather work against that!

    Well we thought we were on the move, but now aren't again..
    Really feel for VT, seems the communication from NR hasn't been what it should be.

    Sorry to hear it. Hoping you'll be back on the move soon.

    Appreciate it's no consolation but this match isn't a patch off the last one.

    Hopefully just a signalling anomoly, but yes, I've been wondering if there is a further issue.
