Manchester - En Route (Part 1 - From Plymouth to Manchester)

We went to Plymouth by train. So, we depart from Marjon at around 9am by taxi to the train station. Since we booked all our journey tickets online, so it was free from hassle. We just have to go to the ticket counter to retrieve our tickets…. But….. we were shocked coz we were given all of our train tickets, including the exchange and return ticket that morning. So, we actually travelled with a bunch of train tickets and struggled to differentiate which ticket should we use at which time.. LOL!!

Plymouth Train Station~
Platform 8, that's where we took our first train...

We were so lucky that the trains here have power sources. So, to fill up the 3-hour-journey, we watched EHB (‘Exploration of Human Body’ hosted by Super Junior) on the laptop. The show was like so damn funny and we were trying so hard holding our breath and stomach to stop us from laughing! Most of the other passengers were sleeping by the way. But, what’s more funny was that a man who was sitting somewhere behind our seats actually stretched out his head to watch EHB on our laptop. LOL!!!


Watching EHB~


Tgh tgk EHB pon sempat snap photo lagi.. hehe~

Didn't realise when Syaz took this picture..



Reflection~

At around 1.30pm we reached Birmingham New Street Station. We had to get off here to change train to go to Manchester. We took the time there to go to the toilet but we were surprised to find out that we had to pay 30p for the restroom. That was like so expensive coz in Plymouth everything’s free. Even most of the toilets in London are FOC! Cekik darah btol! Nak kencing pon kene bayar. Tak lame lagi nak dok kat kerusi tepi jalan pon kene bayar kot~ Aisy~


When we were on the train from Birmingham to Manchester, we tried to get some sleep coz we didn’t get much sleep the day before, but no matter how hard we tried, we just couldn’t sleep! Then, I tried to read the book that I brought along but still, I couldn’t concentrate. Wanna know the reason why? There was this old lady sitting beside us talking on her phone almost half of the journey! And the way she talked were as if she wanted the whole train to know what her conversation was about! Aaaargggghh!


After she had finished, we thought that we could finally get some sleep but it turned out that there was this guy behind us who was also talking on the phone! And again, everyone could here his voice! What’s with all these peeps? Couldn’t you be more considerate of the other passengers? Aisy~ So that was another 3-hour-journey to Manchester without getting any sleep.
