Raya in Manchester Part 3 - Bloody Train RIde!!!

We’re going back to Plymouth! Luckily our train was at 11.05am. So, we didn’t have to wake up really early in the morning. This time, we managed to say goodbye to the kids and I was so touched when Adam hugged me! Such a sweet boy, missed him already~


Snapped this picture before leaving Kak Ina's house~ HOT??!! Haha~


We took a train from Chorley to Stockport and from Stockport to Gloucester. Since it was a Sunday, the trains were empty. We were lucky to get the table seats in every train that we boarded. To fill in the free time, we played some cards and listened to our mp3/ipod. There was a café on the trains and we bought ourselves some snacks and drinks there.


Me..shuffling the cards~

Took a break from playing to snap a picture.. hehe~

Me..with the cards again~

Bored~
P/S: Point of the picture - my Skechers shoes.. LOL!!

Snacks~


From Gloucester, we took a bus ride to Bristol. The view along the way was very beautiful. We must go and visit Bristol one day.


On the bus to Bristol~

We arrived in Bristol and from there we had to take another train to Plymouth. As usual, we were playing cards while listening to some songs and munching some snacks when the train suddenly blacked out! It was in the evening, so it was not pitched black.. Huhu~


When the train stopped at a station, they announced that someone was trying to hijack the train and messed with the computer system! OMG!! The system was actually destroyed. It was kinda busy at the station with the workers walking around. They said that the intruder had been arrested and was being interrogated but the train could only bring us to Exeter instead of Plymouth. It was because of the system that was destroyed and also because of an excessive amount of blood at the engine room! We were like ‘WTH??!! BLOOD?!!”. There seemed to be some kind of fight between the intruder and the security guards.


So, the train brought us to Exeter and from there, they provided a bus that brought us to New Abbot. We were supposed to catch a train that was going to Plymouth there but it was delayed for 2 hours!!!


We finally got on the train and it was running smoothly until the train suddenly skidded when it was moving in a cave tunnel! I was freaking out!!! All of us were asking could the situation be worse when an announcement was made saying that the train had to move like that because it was slipping from the track!!! Aaaaaaaarrgghhh!!!~ Why??!! We could even feel the train was slanting at around 25 degrees. OMG!!! People were freaking out but everyone acted as if nothing happened in order to not worsen the atmosphere.


After some times, the train finally moved smoothly and we arrived in Plymouth safely~ Alhamdulillah~ We called a taxi and a kind Romanian driver drove us to Marjon. Home Sweet Home~ We were so tired but we still had to clean up and unpack. We actually had a lecture at 9am the next morning and after that, I had an English drama class!!! There goes my sleep~ Haisy~
