Here for rides.
...Carlisle Station and staff.
Free toilets.
Free clean toilets.
A choice of coffee concessions
Seats to sit in whilst waiting.
And the staff? Oh the staff...
"Excuse me sir" (note the use of the word 'sir') "where are you travelling to today?"
"London"
"On the next London service?"
"No, 14:39"
"Ok. You've reservations for your bicycles yes? Splendid. I'll leave you alone for now and come back and speak to you when your train is due. You'll need to wheel you bikes along the platform to the blue disc and wait there and then I'll send someone along to unlock the train door for you."
-an hour later-
"Hello sir, yes everything is in order with your train so if you'd like to make your way down the platform." Gets up "No. No rush. The train will rest here for 10 minutes. I'll send someone along as it draws in to open the door for you, just let the train manager in coach C know you are both aboard once you're settled. Have a good journey".
Is there any danger Virgin might buy the Southern Failway franchise off Govia?
