Friday and trip back from Liverpool to Norwich

 




Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool.



1702205, the ex Anglia Railways DMU, now EMR.



The 09:51 Liverpool Lime Street to Norwich Thorpe was delayed a little, well a lot.
158863 was on platform 8, when I got to the station, then 158857 arrived on platform 8 at 08:33, so the next was watching them try to complete up with then, till 158857 left, then we was told to go to platform 7.
158857 arrived on platform 8, then 158863 went out and back at on platform 8, for 1L09 09:51 Liverpool Lime Street to Norwich Thorpe, which left at 10:30.
This missed Sheffield, , but on the stop there, some customer still got on for that stop.
It arrived at Nottingham Midland platform 4 at 13:15 and was cancelled for the rest of the trip?

It did run, just another train, 12:39 Nottingham Midland on time, to Norwich Thorpe 11 mins late (15:09), but of course this had left before the train I got, to Nottingham Midland. 

So next service for us, on 09:51 from Liverpool Lime Street.
10:51 Liverpool Lime Street to Norwich Thorpe
1L10 came into platform 1C, 158812 came off , for the depot.
158773 was left to go to Norwich Thorpe, it look like it was going to be full, not too bad once everyone got on.
this left at 13:57.

It was more than 15 mins late, well add 60 mins for many who come from 09:51 from Liverpool Lime Street.

this arrived at Norwich Thorpe at 16:50, platform 4b, 158773.
Lots of customer waiting to get on, then.

So a trip that should of been 5 hours 18 mins, was nearly 7 hours.











after I came home, I then went to Queen of Iceni.
It was ok, just some of the staff seem like zombies, may be it was a long day for me, as a lot of times on the train , there was a lack of information, or what was given out was wrong?
Being on a trains for that long, I got seats, but my bum was sore.

Went to Morrisons on way home to get bread, 




I see they got Boddingtons, Cream of Manchester, Strangeways Brewery before 2004, when it closed.
Then Hydes Brewery till 2012, now I see it come from Samlesbury brewery, but many time, the taste and feeling of the beer change, when the brewery and staff change, and if it better or not, is up to personal taste.
I not a fan of changing brewery.

Anyway, I see it for a low price, I got it, with Greene King Ruddles, which itself was another brewery that was bought out, closed, and beer moved to Burry St Edmunds, Suffolk.

10 X 440ML can for £7, as can be seen in photo.




seem cheap £4,
