Somewhere between Manchester and Milton Keynes
We flew in from Philadelphia last night/this morning, getting into Manchester at about 8:15. The flight was smooth but hot and cramped. Leg room was non-existent. I don’t know if it’s just US Air or a trend, but the seat/leg room is much less than previous international flights I’ve taken. Perhaps it is incentive to book first class on future flights. Customs was easy, but the line was long.
We then went to the train station and collected our tickets from the automated kiosk, enjoyed a couple of surprisingly tasty sandwiches at Cafe Express, and sat for a while outside on the platform in some truly glorious weather. Sunny, no clouds, and warm but not hot. We are currently on Virgin Trains bound for Euston Station, London. We will need to get Oyster Cards, then we will head to the hotel.
