Our train back to Birmingham New Street arrives into Leeds

station. 222029 is working the 15.08 Glasgow Central to Plymouth. The service was extremely full here at Leeds with virtually no adherence to the reservations taking place! As the journey progressed it thinned out and we managed to secure a four seat table to ourselves. I made excellent use of CrossCountry's Wifi that worked for the whole journey and enabled me to work on this web site. However, the ride of the train was particularly bad on the section of line between Chesterfield and Derby with the train pitching and swaying alarmingly at times. It made it tricky for me to type on the laptop and induced some mild nausea! Just a further aside, the courteous and informative guard announced several times that there were no refreshments available on the train. On an inter-regioanl train of this nature, this was a very poor show.
