went to blackpool yesterday from manchester,via tram and train,thought it best to leave the car at home,the tram was delayed for 20 minutes outward bound,the last train from blackpool to man vic failed,after a 30 minute delay a 142 was provided from the sidings-no heating and cram packed standing to chorley,even though i missed the last tram at the other end,and a tenner taxi home,i was glad that northern were able to provide a replacement train,people were moaning about delays,it was minus 7 last night and the trams are 18 years old and the dmus in the north are 23+years old,was glad to leave blackpool though as it felt like minus 20.
