If you’ve been following this blog you’ll know that I spent yesterday traveling up England to Skegness ready for Spring Harvest.
I thought I’d share with you a little bit of information on the journey. I arrived at Worthing station in plenty of time for my train, and as you’d expect didn’t miss it. It was nice and comfortable and despite me worrying I arrived at Victoria on time. 50 minutes to get across London. The Victoria line was totally packed, but compared to what would come later it was a breeze!
The 5 stop journey took a little over 15 minutes and before long I was at Kings Cross, along with ALL the football supporters heading to Wembley. But I got to the main part of the station and waited. After a further 15 minutes the train was called and the fight began….a 4 coach long train and many many people. Result I stood up from Kings Cross to Grantham.
A quick change at Grantham to a train with 2 coaches and even more people to fit on it awaited us. This was not looking good. More standing. This time from Grantham to Boston and a total of about 3 hours. Only at Boston, and the smallest train of them all did I get a seat again, which is pretty crazy.
Things didn’t get much easier once I arrived at the Spring Harvest Site, because of a problem at home my parents couldn’t make it, though instead of managing to cancel my parents places, they managed to cancel mine and my mums. It took the best part of an hour to sort, and never have I ever been quite so glad to see a Spring Harvest tea.
