Based on previous experience of using the sleeper I wasn’t massively surprised when we ground to a halt in Watford Junction station for the best part of 40 minutes. In the end I was more surprised that the train moved off again continuing its journey North rather than being told to get off and get on coaches.
Somewhere just north of Rugby I turned in for the evening, but it being a sleeper didn’t really sleep very well, so I was able to easily make out both of our stops and Crewe and Preston.
