At last, the end of the Cheadle Hulme to Crewe blockade. For five long months I’ve endured the dreadful ‘Rail Replacement Bus’ which more than doubled the length of my daily commute.
Today the train was even on time. I got from my front door to my desk in just over twenty minutes.
Sadly it’s only for a six weeks. In July there’s the Stockport blockade, and it’s bloody buses again for another two months. Bah!
Can somebody explain to me why back in the 1980s they completely rebuilt the whole of Crewe in seven weeks flat, while Stockport, a station of less than half the complexity, will take nine?
