Ah, at last. Freedom from the rattling noise machine. I was straight onto my connecting service, which is a Pendelino! I think. To be honest, it’s so long that one haven’t seem either end of it.

Not a great pic, but I had to dash aboard quickly. There is precious little luggage space aboard these things! Nice that I got a table though. 

Next stop, London, where I may or may not attempt to catch a bus. I’m visiting a friend at work, but buses scare me. How do you know when to get off?

Ooh, we’re underway! Smooth! Bye Birmingham.
