Platform Choose

I caught a train today. I liked it. 

After months of delay and procrastination I eventually got my Jag booked in for some long overdue and necessary maintenance. I have been trying to get the mechanic to book it in since October and there have been a string of reasons why he couldn't accommodate me. MOT next week so I was getting very anxious.

At last he made time and space for me and I took the car to his workshops just outside Albrighton, about 25 miles away. It is only because I trust him so much that I allowed this situation to prevail. He is a specialised and independent Jaguar technican. Anyone else would have been kissing my spotty little backside by now.

Having left the car with him I got to the station with time to spare. 

The experience of train travel was highly and surprisingly enjoyable. 

Although a little late it got me to Shrewsbury in time to 'use the facilities' and get the connection to Craven Arms.

The train was quite modern, very clean, very comfortable. It was a smooth and enjoyable ride through sublime countryside and I felt completely relaxed. 

Let the train take the strain. 

It's the future!

The main image is Albrighton Station, I had to ask about which platform to use.  The figure in the image kindly walked into frame at the optimum moment. Nice!
