arrived at St Pancras in OK time to catch the train from Kings Cross to
Durham. This train was delayed because
of staffing problems by half an hour and so we did no

us to the Travelodge and we checked in and retired almost immediately. A long day with difficulties but we made it
safely in the end and for that we are grateful.
