I say trouble but I haven't got a clue what actually happened. All I know is that as we pulled into P'boro, there was some guy (The guard I think) talking loundly in the vestibule between D & E. I only caughth snippits becasue I was concentrating on what I was doing and didn't realise something was up until I joined the que to get get off.
What I did hear was (presumably the guard) saying 'Nigel. Can you hear me? What job do you do. Come on you must know what job you do?
All I could see at this point was a fella holding what appeared to be a mobile phone to his forehead. Odd, I know but all became clear later.
As the train stopped the guard escorted a bloke off the train and he got his notebook out. My immediate thought was fuck, GNER really have been reading this blog and they've turned all their guards into community coppers as a consequence. I jest of course. I could see through the window that he was talking to a middle class fella in a light rain coat who was holding a hankey to his forehead. God only knows what happened to the poor sod and i'f anyone knows perhaps you'd be kind enough to add a comment to this post. Nosey bastard that I am.
The only knock on effect was that gorpers milled arround the exit from D&E and it took twice as long to get off as normal.
Other than that a very uneventful day on the trains for me. Long may it continue.
