What a day.

Got to train station at 11:00, waiting for Add and Rachel. Add and Rachel arrive around 11:15. Waited for 11:25 train.

Train didn't arrive. Matty appeared. His iPhone tells us that the train was delayed until 12:03. At 12:03, the train arrived, but didn't stop at Landywood. Fail.

Decided to reduce wait times by travelling to Somerfield's. In the 2 for £1.50 offer, I bought Coca Cola, as a did Rachel. I also purchased a Kinder Egg.

Waited for next train, supposedly at 12:25. Person came down to tell us that no trains would be stopping at Landywood, so we had to get on a suspicious coach.

Arrived at Walsall station at 13:00, got ticket, finally got on the train to Birmingham at 13:15. In Birmingham for about 13:40.

Had Subway. Not enough cucumber on mine, 5 slices on a footlong. Disappointed.

Walked round shops. Should have bought Hairspray for £6. I wasn't prepared to wait in Gamestation for a game though, queue was far too big.

Around 17:05, had to run for the train. Got on the train, nearly fell over a lot.

...

So..., a protip: London Midland trains are awful. And don't go to Birmingham so close to Christmas.

You will only be disappointed.
