Barlaston to The Taft

Friday 31 May

Once again we had a leisurely start as Gwyn was due to catch a train home from Stone at 1.34pm.

We set off from Barlaston at 8.45am which would give us plenty of time to get to Stone for her train.

However, when I checked the trainline app it announced that this train had been cancelled! As she had a "valid on this train only" ticket we were a bit concerned.

A quick phone call to the helpline elicited the information that, as the booked train had been cancelled, she could catch an alternative.

It just so happened that we arrived in Stone in time for her to catch the 11.34am train instead and she eventually arrived home before she would have caught the original train! Result!

Meanwhile, I continued by boat on an uneventful journey and stopped for the night at The Taft.



I did catch one picture of some beasts having a cool time!
