Sounds terrifying but at least you got there in one piece.

 

I expect that not much phases Cameron.

Off on a collection mission! Long train journey ahead...

Train was booked for 13.20, with an arrival at destination at 17.11.

As I'm super organised (lol) I also had a doctor's appointment at 12.15, so it was gonna be a tight day.

 Appointment went quickly, got home and got Taxi to the station....

That's when it all went wrong!

Went to collect my tickets, went to get my phone out to check reservation number.... couldn't find it! Left it in the taxi!
Station payphone out of order, of course.
I had to go over to taxi office (different taxi company) to ask them to phone the other company and see if the driver could come back. They were lovely and helpful and we managed to get it sorted but obviously missed my train. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Going to see if I can make up time on the connections. Next train is 13.46....

Fingers crossed for a good outcome.

Well, I think I'm going to get caught up, as when I got to Kings Cross there was a train going to Grantham that was only 13 mins after the one I missed.

The next change over was going to be 17 mins, so hopefully that gives me 5 mins to make the original Grantham to Nottingham train.

Yay.

Ticket inspection time..... Fuuuuck. The ticket I have was LNER but the train I caught was a Hull Trains one. So not valid. Had to buy a ticket for £33 

This is proving to be a very expensive roffle win 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😅

Although I've not had to say it for a while, I've certainly said it many times before.

Made it back in good time. Sat happily at 70+ down the M1 ☺️

Hmm. Is that normal?

Round town driving

Fan kicks in and temp goes down a little but not far

Not in the winter, if you haven't already done so, advise checking coolant level and the radiator condition. Also is the heater blowing hot air, if not check the  heater radiator inlet and outlet pipes, both should be hot. 

[High Jetter]

Was it like it all the way back yesterday? Might have the wrong t/stat.

[HMC]

k series and that temp reading….. any signs of coolant loss?

No it was fine all the way back.

 

Heater is less effective than yesterday
