Brendan Everything was good except when I arrived at the station I checked the expected arrival time of the EPT at 8.30. The young man said it was half an hour late which was no real issue as I had plenty of work to do
At 8..26 I thought I would check if the train had arreived. To my amazement, the train was not only in but it was ready to depart in 4 minutes
Had to dash back to my table and grab my things and yes I made it
BUT WHY WAS THAT ADVICE GIVEN. COULD HAVE MISSED THE TRAIN ALL to gether
