Let the train take the strain

 
Christmas is over and our Chinese guests are on their way back to London.
 By train.


Yes, we woke this morning to the news of severe disruptions and cancellations of trains between Scotland and London due to Kings Cross being closed because of engineering works and trains terminating at Finsbury Park.
 
The BBC reported strong possibility of passengers being stranded at Peterborough for hours.
 
Well, my solution was for our students to stay on for a few more days. That's when one dropped a bombshell.
 
His mother will be arriving at 2pm tomorrow at Heathrow from China. She is expecting her son to meet her. She speaks no English.
So staying on was not an option.
 
   
So, we put them on the train this morning fearing they were in for a nightmarish journey. And the news so far confirms this.
