Everything was fine except my luggage went missing. Despite telling the driver it was destined for Manchester, it wasn’t offloaded at Manchester and given to lost property, or it’s been handed to someone else.

Today was Manchester pride but the driver was great in getting us around the diversion. Tomorrow when I go back up to Glasgow I am hoping for another good service. National express in my opinion is the best

Train left Glasgow on time for Manchester Piccadilly but for lack of staff,the service had to be terminated at Preston and end up getting an hour late to Manchester Piccadilly due to changing trains. Very unpleased with it all.
