Merseyrail Chaos

20Dec10

After possibly the worst day of my life on Friday I thought I’d alleviate the pain by going out with a few Fab friends for the evening. Little did I know that the day was about to get a whole lot worse.

The evening started off pleasantly enough with a light sprinkling of snow on my walk to the train station. As we all started to gather in FACT for a few drinks & to exchange Secret Santa gifts, we all admired the large flakes drifting down the the air & collecting on the ground. But the snow wouldn’t let up & those of us who were relying on cars or public transport to get home started looking a little nervous.

To cut a long story short, after being herded like cattle for half an hour, I eventually got on a Southport bound train which promptly broke down. We were stuck in a tunnel for an hour & a half as the temperatures rose & peoples patience fell. After being pushed to Sandhills station & told to disembark, I was then faced with a 4.5 mile walk home is the worst winter conditions I’ve ever seen in Liverpool, arriving home at around 2am.

All fun & games, so here’s some shots from the evening.
