To Chester

And I am off again.

I had a realisation on this trip that not all trains have luggage racks and not all trains have toilets.

Didcot to Chester involved four trains, which is strange as I only needed three trains from the far north to Didcot.

On the way to Oxford.
Changed at Oxford, no need to change platform.
Approaching Birmingham

Change again at Birmingham, the most confusing station that I have come across, not helped by poor signage. Slightly stressful due to a slight delay in arriving. Had to go to platform 4B . Was that a left or right turn at the bottom of the stairs? Guessed correctly as left.

Platform 4B Birmingham.

Accents a mixture of brummie and scouse on the train to Chester.

Changed at Crewe.
On the way to Chester
Chester Station

Only a 1 minute 23 second bike ride from the station to the Premier Inn. Easy.

And even closer is the Shropshire Union Canal.

Had a little explore of Chester.

Near the Little Yellow Pig- Gostall Alley.

Chester is pretty with lots of interesting alleys.
