What a mess! The full details of my train fuck-up this morning are too tedious to recite. Interrail is great value but they need to really sort out the seat reservations process as it’s very clunky and easy to mess up.

So then, having been unable to get my Eurostar (mostly my own fault) I book a lunch-time flight to East Midlands Airport with Flybe. (I. Hate. Flying. More on this some other day)

The flight was delayed by around five hours argh! I eventually got back to East Midlands airport around 19:30 and then a quick Skylink bus to home. Not so bad in the end, just lots of time in an airport is bad for the soul.
