The early morning brightness had given way to very overcast

and dull weather by the time we got to Stafford. Here, 221129 arrives at Stafford with the 07.07 Manchester Piccadilly to Bristol Temple Meads. I could think of better ways to make this cross-country 1V45 journey rather than in a Voyager. I find them cramped, noisy and all too often, hopelessly over-crowded.
