Here I go, down to Bristol again via the good services of Virgin Rail. It's been pretty smooth so far, but there has been just one little gem of uneccessary craziness.
We have been running early so far, arriving at Birmingham some 26 minutes early. So we waited the 26 minutes on the platform at Birmingham and then the train pulled out - in the wrong direction.
Due to engineering work on the line, we have been forced to do a detour that will make us approximately 20 minutes late.
Genius. Pure genius.

Brilliant! Only the British trains could engineer this.
