Okay I've blatently lied about the topic, but the current status of the rail network, in particular when doing repairs is farcical. There is no communication at all and half the stations have no information signs or even staff that can assist!
I'm trying to get home at the moment and we've checked the train times and found that due to ongoing work in the Tipton area I had to get to the station at 03 mins past to get a coach to Wolves, then swap coaches at Wolves to Stafford and then train it back to Manchester.
So... We got to the tipton station for 55 mins past 5, just in time for the 6.03 coach to find no real information signs stating where to wait etc so we waited.
10 mins later - no coach
20 mins later - no coach
Then after this some random guy who was waiting for the Birmingham coach turned round and said it had left about 4 mins before we arrived.
Whats the point of them displaying times for coaches IF they cannot be bothered to adhere to them?
So now, it's either a trip to Birmingham or to Stafford in order to get to Manchester for 21.45-22.00 hours tonight and then another 29 minute (approx) to get home.
