The 07.30 Birmingham New Street to Newcastle Central has just arrived at York's platform nine. Mike and I had just alighted from 220023 that we had traveled on from its starting point. Fair play to CrossCountry on this occasion, the train was on-time, the wifi was as good, it was clean and not overcrowded. However, the trip was marred somewhat by a pretty miserable guard, seen getting back on his train, who got impatient with me when I was sorting out the split tickets for his inspection; we all can have a bad day I suppose!
