Rail strikes in Scotland......

Had a call from Mr D returning form London, t say he'd been booked on the West Coast Route, annoyingly, since that means a bus from Preston, past the area affected by the train derailment a week or two ago.......

Then I heard the news about our rail strike...... :eek:

SO - looks like he'll be staying the night at Carlisle, unless they can get alternative transport, and they're not making any promises.... :rolleyes:

What a stupid situation - when did strikes ever achieve anything but inconvenience to loads of people who have no way of getting on with their normal life?? It really makes me mad
