My train, initially two linked services from Plymouth, arrived six minutes early and split at Temple Meads.
Train travel is just more civilised than flying. No cramped spaces, no duty-free shops at every turn. Plus, I didn’t need to endure the usual two-hour airport wait—just a quick 15 minutes at the station before boarding, and we travel city centre to city centre. It’s these details that make train travel not just a journey, but a pleasure.
Sitting in first class has been a treat with endless hot drinks and smooth travels, until a bit of unexpected excitement at York.
Our train encountered a brake issue, leading to a couple of suspenseful restarts by the driver. Despite the best efforts, the service was eventually cancelled.
