My morning train today wasn't quite as bad as yesterday but was still late, as were all the others from Horwich Parkway. My evening train, however, didn't bother to show up. Also, because the Blackburn train was running late, I couldn't get this to make a connection coming from Piccadilly so I ended up sitting in Bolton station for 25 minutes waiting for a later connection.

I didn't even bother getting out of bed to get the train this morning and instead worked from home. Good job really as, according to my train friend, it was absolute chaos. Had I been in the office, I would have gone over to Hindley as the first train there when the strikes are on is earlier than at Horwich (I start work at 7am) but it's a good job I didn't...
