A bit of toilet humour from East Midlands trains

I've been on quite a few East Midland Train journeys this year, but never has my husband come back down the train and demanded I go to the toilet....  my potty training 3 years old maybe but I'm 32 I'm pretty sure I know when I need a wee.
   But no he was adamant I HAD to go for a wee telling me to read the sign on the toilet lid while I was there ..... thinking perhaps he'd banged his head I humoured him.....


Sadly I didn't take my camera (that would have been weird right?) ... fortunately a chap called Tim Garratt,did in January and here it is for you.........

Trains, Busses and Event City

Don't you hate it when a lovely day out turns into a nightmare thanks to public transport .... you know the same public transport that we are always being encouraged to use.

Readers may have seen some of my Tweets on Saturday - for you to get the bigger picture I will start from the beginning......

Saturday we had arranged to pick up our Merlin Passes from Legoland Discovery Centre in Manchester.  Following this we were going to the Sealife Centre next door.  We debated staying overnight but the train fare would have doubled and there were no bargain hotel rooms so, as we only live an hour away by train from Manchester a day trip it was.

We go up, got the boys ready (it was a surprise right up until they got to the desk at Legoland) and packed a picnic/ provisions to fuel the day.

We boarded the PACKED East Midlands train to Manchester at 9.45 am, taking our place on the floor / pull down seats (it was hard to decide which was comfiest) outside the drivers cab.
