Need I say much more? The trains failed again last night. Some selfish person deicded to throw themself infront of a train at Bilbrook - meaning that the line was shut down.
Spent 2 hours at Wolverhamption waiting for information. Finally a bus arrived (a small 32 seater) that went straight to Shrewsbury where onward travel was waiting.
Oh wait, it wasn't. Another one and a half hour wait there in the freezing cold, arguing with station staff for a taxi, hotel or refreshments - none of which would be given because there was a bus coming, just no idea when or how many free seats it would have.
So after that cold hour and a half there, a bus arrived, and guess what, it was a 52 seater that did all stops from Wolverhampton to Shrewsbury, and was now going to Aberystwyth via Newtown and Caersws - so at least that avoided the wavey roads between Machynlleth and Borth.
Normal time of arrival at Aber = 23.24
Actual time of arrival at Aber = 02.54
Joy :(
