11th April 2013 - A day of randoms. I'm running late (as usual). I find myself on the wrong side of the level crossing and wave goodbye as two trains sail past me towards Manchester - just my luck.
When I finally get on the platform and wait. As the next train approaches an elderly gentleman shakes his head and turns to me to say '3 Bury trams in a row, how can that be? And I want to go to Piccadilly'. 'You can get this one to Market Street and walk' I said trying to be helpful. 'I know, but that's not the point'.
'I know' I said.
Hmm, I thought.
*****
Remember I am already running late...tram comes to a halt. O cr*p. Traffic light I think. An apology comes from the driver, we should soon be on our way, it won't happen again.
How considerate, come on then let's get on with it.
3 mins later, okay off we go...one stop later we draw to another halt...no announcement this time.
Funny that. Driver and his empty assurances better had keep schtum this time.
Ahh...finally my stop.
