Back!
Managed to get an earlier train, at a cost of £8.50!
Which... was quite an adventure.
I had to stand in between two doors which tried to shut every 30seconds, for about 1hour. So I had to press the open button each time, to avoid being crushed between the two doors. It then some how managed to be delayed 10minutes while traveling, so we were late arriving at the transfer stations.
But, we got up to the top level and were directed to the next platform, although we had to wait for 45minutes. After it didn't arrive I wondered what was up, to be told that I had been told the wrong platform! So, another wait for the next train. Once again, it didnt come. Cancellation!
So I now had to get another train, which required another transfer
. Anyway, once again it didn't turn up - it was delayed for 30minutes. And after this time, it still wasn't here. So we asked again, and were told platform 2, so there we waited. And (luckily) I noticed someone I knew on the opposite platform who shouted across that I was (once again) directed to the wrong platform! So, I ran over, got on, and then finally got home!
And in between someone had left a paper, and I read a report saying ''80% of trains on time - only 1 in 5 not on time'', I found it quite funny that for about 5 in the 5 used, it was apart of the 20% on a delay. A good adventure, none the less though!
