Back in Manchester

We've returned to Manchester, and we're staying at a hotel at the airport. It's been quite an eventful day, what with two train transfers and journeys of one station each after them. I've taken my last train journey in England for a while so, for the benefit of anyone travelling by train any time soon, a brief evaluation of the trains I was on.

( Train geekage ahead. Those interested may proceed. )

So, there's my appraisal of my experiences with British Rail. Tomorrow, however, sees a journey on a Thomas Cook 757 to Pearson Airport in Toronto. Good night/afternoon/morning, all!
