![]() | My plan to catch the 0748 train was clobbered as they cancelled it overnight. And so I get the next possibility which is the 0957 rail replacement bus. It's interesting to see that when the driver reaches a station he then instructs his sat-nav with the details of the next station. I can hear the instructions from the sat-nav, e.g., to "turn left", from half way back the bus! Having arrived at Huncoat Railway Station, I aim for the M65 footbridge.
