This story is not an exaggeration ….for sure…it’s all pretty true
Honestly …..for sure
The plane journey from Inverness to Manchester Airport was a delight…..though our single steward was a moody bastard.
I was off the plane first and literally 7 minutes later was walking down to the train platforms where various uninterested staff shouted over that all the trains into Manchester had been cancelled because of an “ incident”
All passengers were directed onto a unknown quantity of a Manchester tram system.
It was chaos for only a handful of people knew what to do.
Hundreds of people crammed onto the handful of trams .
I knew I needed to be at Piccadilly so rang my friend Nigel in nearby Stockport for help .
He told me where to go which was completely different to what a very loud young mother with a baby in a pram was telling everyone . She wanted to go to Preston eventually and had a big following to keep on to Victoria because she was confident and loud….she went on to Said stop , where as I, following Nigel’s advice jumped off at Market Street
It was like a disaster movie
Me and a young, sturdy legged student physio from Helsby led the charge. An Asian chap from Chester who kept saying that he was taking Tuesday off sick followed with , a retired professor from Bangor ( who had just been to Nice with her daughter ) they were then followed a couple of trendy tattooed girls who knew where they were going followed by an old rather bemused and a bit tipsy couple from Cheshire with too much baggage.
And we galloped across central Manchester for Piccadilly
It was obvious that the old couple was slowing us up , so the trendy girls and Asian chap took control of their luggage and as a group we managed to get to Piccadilly with 12 minutes to spare.
Piccadilly was in chaos
But eventually the unnamed physio, Bangor Prof Caroline, The Asian chap ( who I found out was called Sidharth ) and Hilary and Howard from Frodsham who was still helped by one unknown trendy gal with tattoos all made it more or less home .
What fun lol
People come up trumps when needed
Don’t they ?
