So, having paid absolutely no notice to the proposed journey when I booked the ticket, and being oblivious to the fact that Euston is shut this weekend, I've somert of a journey up ahead and would be gratified if our resident trainmen could tell me how likely any of this is of happening as it should. On Sunday, I am booked to go:
11:36 from Manchester Piccadilly, arriving at Birmingham New Street 13:19
[brief schlep on foot]
13:55 from Birmingham Moor Street, arriving at London Marylebone 15:40
[briefly consider the underground, think fuck this and get a cab to]
17:31 Eurostar from St. Pancras to Amsterdam
It all looks good on paper, but I am 70% convinced that there will be some rail replacement bus shenanigans I've missed, or general other missed connection shithousery. Would I be better off losing my bottle and spending an extortionate sum on a last minute flight?
[Edit: just clocked that my ticket is good for any route, so might just leave a couple of hours earlier and doss around London for a bit.]
